(CSRwire) WASHINGTON, D.C.--The United States Chamber of Commerce Center for
Corporate Citizenship (CCC) recently announced the finalists for the 2005
Corporate Citizenship Awards. The awards acknowledge businesses and
chambers of commerce that have demonstrated ethical leadership and
corporate stewardship and have made a difference in their communities.
"These recipients are our nation's pillars in advancing important social
and economic goals for communities across the country," said Chamber
Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Suzanne Clark. "They
are the examples of corporate citizenship that too often go
unrecognized."
The finalists for the awards in the following categories are:

Kalamazoo Regional Chamber of Commerce, Weyerhaeuser Company, and Xerox
Corporation.

Financial Group, Hi-Tec Systems, Inc., International Bank of Commerce,
PAETEC Communications, SAP America, Inc., and Stanley Consultants.
Corporate Stewardship Large Business Award: General Electric,
Safeway, SBC Communications, United Technologies, and UPS.
The winners will be announced on November 8 at the National Building
Museum in Washington, D.C. U.S. Chamber President and CEO Thomas J.
Donohue, Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez, and Harvard business
Professor Michael Porter will present the awards. The celebration will be
held this year in conjunction with the U.S. Chamber Board of Directors
dinner.
The Center for Corporate Citizenship will also present a special tribute
to U.S. companies for their roles in the tsunami aid and reconstruction
process--an extraordinary display of corporate citizenship in action.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Center for Corporate Citizenship (CCC) is a
501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the environment in
which businesses operate. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world's
