PROGRAMS & SUPPORT

The Grandview Chamber’s highest honors recognize individuals, and businesses & their teams for outstanding support, innovation, and leadership, along with building improvements made inside or out.

At the Annual Awards Ceremony recognition is given for:

• Business of the Year
• New Business Investments
• Milestone Anniversaries
• Thumbs Up Award for Social Engagement
• Most Valuable Volunteer
• Golden Scissors for attending the most Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies

The Chamber’s Annual Awards Ceremony is a wonderful evening of networking and celebration. The evening includes a wonderful dinner of delicious hors d’ oeuvres and drinks, plus it is a time to raise funds for the Chamber through raffles and auctions.

A program follows with thanks to outgoing Directors and the announcement of the new Directors and officers of the Chamber Board. Then it is on to the awards when we honor businesses and individuals for Social Engagement, Ribbon Cuttings, Volunteerism, and Business of the Year.

The Awards Ceremony provides an opportunity to reflect on what the Chamber accomplished in the past year and inform members of the Board’s plans for the coming year. Awards are presented. Board members (current, incoming, and retiring), Ambassadors, committee members, and new Chamber members are recognized.

The following awards are designed to recognize Chamber Members who have devoted a significant amount of time to the Grandview Chamber of Commerce to help it succeed in carrying out the Chamber’s mission and goals.
