Last chance to submit nominations for Community Awards

The Fulton County Chamber of Commerce reminds those wanting to nominate an organization, business, or individual for this year's Community Awards that the deadline to do so is Wednesday, March 12.

The chamber recognizes that the county’s success is dependent upon the hard work of those who give of themselves to make the community a better place, and asks for nominations that recognize this hard work.

Nominations may be made for the following awards:

Organization of the Year
Open to both businesses and nonprofit organizations, this award is presented to an organization or business in the Fulton County area with proven growth and stability, provides innovative products and services and demonstrates economic support of the Fulton County area business community.

Business Professional of the Year
This award is presented to an individual who demonstrates growing excellence, creativity and initiative in their profession, is engaged in the community and shows a strong commitment to good business practices. This person serves as a role model for other professionals, both personally and professionally, and possesses vision and passion to mentor and lead others.

Emerging Business Award
Open to both businesses and nonprofit organizations, this award is presented to an organization or business established in the last 0-5 years in the Fulton County area that demonstrates growing success in community and exhibits commitment to good business practices, community relations and employee relations.

Community Service Award
Originally the Chamber Award, this prestigious award is presented to an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the community.

Nominations can be submitted by contacting Kellie Scobie at kellie@fultoncountychamber.com or 574-224-2666. They should include the business/individual name and category.

A nomination also can be made through the online form.

Nominees must be a member of the Fulton County Chamber, with exception of the Community Service Award. 

Nominated businesses and individuals will be notified by the chamber and asked to complete a video application by Wednesday, March 26. Winners will be announced at the chamber’s annual meeting and awards ceremony on April 24.
