Annual Awards

Each year, the Chamber holds an Annual Meeting/Soiree to honor individuals in our county! At this event, we announce awards for various categories.

Candidates are nominated by the public, and the Chamber of Commerce Executive Committee reviews the nomination forms and selects the winners.

The identity of the award winners is kept secret and will be announced at the annual meeting.

  • Nominations must fit in the category criteria.
  • You do not have to be a Chamber member to nominate a business or person for an award.
  • Self-nominations are not permitted.
