The outstanding achievements of the local business community will be recognized at the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce’s annual Business Excellence Awards at Tapestry Hall on May 18.
The Chamber’s adjudicating committee will be asked to review dozens of nominations to select the award recipients in a variety of categories. More than 60 businesses are represented among the nominees.
“It’s wonderful to see such a variety of incredible businesses and dedicated people being nominated,” says Cambridge Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Greg Durocher. “Our committee members will have tough time trying to select the award recipients.”
The Business Excellence Awards is the Chamber’s premier event and has honoured the contributions and achievements of business leaders since 2000.
“Our awards event is a great way to honour the important work of our local business community and how much they bring to the region,” says Durocher. “Having the chance to gather together to celebrate makes it even more special.”
The award recipients will be selected to recognize the achievements of organizations and entrepreneurs who have made outstanding contributions in 2022.
