Prositions, Inc., creator of MentorString, was announced as a finalist for three of the 2015 Stevie Awards by the American Business Awards program.

Prositions has been named a finalist in New Software Product or Service of the Year- Collaboration/Social Networking Solution, New Software Product or Service of the Year – Human Capital Management Solution, and Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year.

“Being recognized by the American Business Awards in three separate categories is truly exciting and additional validation that we’re pursuing the right path,” said Frank Russell, CEO. “This year is proving to be a break-out year for Prositions, and our new software application MentorString is revolutionizing the way organizations deliver mentoring and coaching solutions.”

More than 3,300 nominations from organizations of all sizes, and in virtually every industry, were submitted to the judges this year for consideration. Stevie Award judges include many of the world’s most respected executives, entrepreneurs, innovators, and business educators. The Awards will be presented at two events: the ABA’s traditional banquet on Monday, June 22, 2015 in Chicago, IL, and the new product and technology awards event on Friday, September 11, 2015 in San Francisco, CA.
