The Small Business Excellence Awards– the Biz E’s were started in 2006 to recognize the Chamber small business members who provide excellence in their business fields.
Award Categories were developed to help recognize these businesses.
Nominations are collected during the months of January to July. Those nominees who qualify as a member in good standing are announced on the Small Business Excellence Awards website and The Chamber's monthly news magazine, The Business Voice.
In early July, the qualified nominees provide additional information for a selection committee of volunteers to review. A blind review of the nominees information is reviewed and scored. The accumulated scores are reviewed by the committee and the three finalists and a winner are selected in each category. Winners are kept confidential and announced at the annual Small Business Excellence Awards Luncheon held in the Fall. The finalists are notified by mail and announced in all Chamber media.
Finalists are then scheduled in August to be video taped for presentation at the annual awards luncheon. Finalists are presented with an award and letters from state and local dignitaries.
Winners for the Small Business Excellence awards receive a Biz E Award trophy and a special gift package.
The Small Business Excellence Awards are made possible in large part to a dedicated committee of volunteers from the Chamber's Business Council. These committee members help promote and support the program by creating the criteria and categories for the awards program. They plan the strategies to help promote and drive members to submit nominations at various Chamber events. The committee also helps review, read and score all the qualified nominees information forms to select the finalists and winners in each category.
Together the volunteers and staff work to help recognize our Chamber small business members for their work and continued support in our community.
