EDGE Value Program The EDGE has created a unique metric that will enable the region to measure and track companies throughout the 17 counties of Northeast Ohio that are creating the most value for themselves as well as for the community. Value creating companies deserve to be identified, honored, nurtured and supported. "Value" = EBIT + total cash equivalent compensation for all of that company’s employees working in the Northeast Ohio region.EDGE looks at the absolute figure as well as the growth rate of this figure over the past three years. Recognized companies should find this prestigious award from unbiased grantors with strong civic backing using objective data to be very appealing. The award should make the recognized companies very appealing to prospective employees, customers, suppliers, and be looked upon very favorably by city, county and state governments. Qualifying companies will have sales revenue up to $500 million and currently sell some of their goods or services outside the region, or have plans to do so. Lorain County Community College will host this year's gala on Wednesday, May 21, 2008. Brain Tucker, Editor of Crain's Cleveland, shares why the Leading EDGE Awards are so valuable.
