More than 2,000 nominations, including Adobe, Delphi, and Careerbuilders.com, were submitted for consideration in more than 40 categories. Agel was also named a finalist in the categories of Best New Product, Best Website: Overall Design, and Best Executive, honoring Agel's Founder and CEO, Glen Jensen.
Business professionals nationwide selected finalists during more than five weeks of preliminary judging. Members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staffs then selected Stevie winners from among the finalists.

Gallagher, Founder and President of the Stevie Awards. "In short order the Stevie has become one of the world's most coveted awards. The Stevies have been called the business world's own Oscar Awards."
Nicknamed Stevie for the Greek word "crowned," the coveted award was designed by the same company that makes the Oscar, Clio, and other major awards. Stevie winners were announced during a gala at New York's Marriott Marquis Hotel on Monday, June 11. Larry Wilmore of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart was the master of ceremonies.
Agel's website was launched in March 2007, was built on strategy, and is the primary marketing and communications tool for team members who reside in over 40 countries worldwide. The site was programmed and designed by Axis 41, of Salt Lake City, with messaging and creative direction from Agel's marketing team.

The Building Bridges Award
-- The Agel Cares Foundation Also Donated Needed Medical Equipment To The Countries Of Nigeria And The Philippines --
PROVO, Utah - Oct. 12, 2007 - Recognized as a world leader in suspension gel technology for nutritional supplements, Provo-based Agel Enterprises announced the formation of the Agel Cares Foundation with its mission "to improve the lives of families by providing needed medical and nutritional assistance, and improving life-sustaining skills."
The foundation was introduced at the 2007 AgelWorld convention in Salt Lake City in front of an estimated crowd of 3,500 people with a check presentation to the United Jewish Federation of Utah to help the organization with its efforts to educate Israeli children.
"Since day one of operations, we always wanted to create a foundation that would bless the lives of individuals and families for not just a day, but a lifetime," said Glen Jensen, CEO and founder of Agel. "Now that Agel is a debt-free company, we are excited for the opportunity we will have to positively impact the people of the world."
Nigeria and the Philippines are two nations also benefiting from the charitable organization. The foundation purchased portable microscopes and other medical equipment that will be used to examine and perform a variety of surgeries on the eyes.
"The surgeries will not only help the people who live in the city, but will also help those who live in the villages and do not have the money or means to travel to the city for surgery," said Max L. Pinegar, executive director of the Agel Cares Foundation.
Pinegar said the foundation is not organized to meet one type of need, but to fulfill a whole variety of life-sustaining services to people in need throughout the world.
Currently, the foundation is purchasing medical equipment in areas of the world where the need for the equipment is highest. As the company's sales grow and donations to the foundation from team members and employees grow, the foundation will eventually donate goods and services to countries around the globe, Pinegar said.
Agel corporate is covering all operating costs associated with the foundation, allowing 100 percent of all monetary donations received to go directly to helping people in need.
Agel also announced the company will donate 1 cent for every foil top that is collected from its nutritional supplements.
At the 2007 convention, Agel team members were asked to bring prescription eyeglasses to donate to the foundation. The glasses were then donated to the Deseret International Foundation where they will then be distributed throughout the world.
