Now Accepting Nominations

As we prepare for our Annual Awards Dinner, it's time to gather nominations for Business of the Year, Non-Profit of the Year and First Citizen. Please take a moment to share your nominations with us. The deadline for nominations is Monday, December 18 at 5:00pm.

Once the nominations are received the chamber membership will be notified by email asking you to cast your vote for one nominee in each category. The votes cast will then be tallied to select the winners for these prestigious awards. Please note incomplete applications may be subject to removal of consideration.

Mark your calendars and plan to attend the Annual Chamber Awards Dinner! It will be held again at the Cottage Grove Armory on Saturday January 20, 2017. It's another Red Carpet event and hope you'll join us for an elegant night to include Business of the Year and First Citizen Awards, Distinguished Service, Student and Teacher Recognitions, the Official Passing of the Gavel, cocktails, dinner, mixing, and more! Invitations will be in the mail soon!
