ENGLEWOOD, Colo., May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Baxa Corporation has been selected as a finalist in the Best Sales Team category for the third annual American Business Awards.

Finalists were selected by business professionals nationwide during three months of preliminary judging and represent more than 40 categories, including Best Overall Company, Best Executive, Best Corporate Social Responsibility Program, and Best Human Resources Organization.
