Description
🏆BUSINESS EXCELLENCE AWARDS LUNCH
Tuesday, November 10 | 11:30 AM–1:00 PM
Rockwoods | Otsego
Success deserves a spotlight. And this is the day we turn it on. ✨
Join us for one of the most uplifting Chamber events of the year as we gather to celebrate the businesses, leaders, volunteers, and rising stars who make our region such an incredible place to live, work, and do business.
The Business Excellence Awards Lunch is more than handing out awards. It’s a room filled with people cheering for one another, recognizing hard work, celebrating big wins, and shining a light on those who quietly make a difference every single day.
Because celebrating someone else’s success doesn’t dim your light. It makes our whole business community shine brighter. 💛
Come applaud the nominees. Cheer loudly for the winners. Connect with fellow business and community leaders. Leave inspired by the incredible people doing great things right here in our own backyard.
🏆 WE’LL BE CELEBRATING
Large Business of the Year • Small Business of the Year • Emerging Business of the Year • Non-Profit of the Year • Young Professional of the Year (40 & Under) • Volunteer of the Year Honorees: PACEsetter, Ambassador & Keystone awards.
