Nominations are now open for the Kent County Chamber of Commerce Community Excellence Awards!

A Community Excellence Award will be presented to a business, nonprofit, community organization, or individual who has demonstrated the ability, during the past year, to make a positive difference here in our community.

As mentioned during last month’s chamber update, the Community Excellence Awards marks a revamp to the Excellence in Business Award the Kent Chamber presented in years past. Previously, Kent Chamber member businesses were presented with awards in the following categories: Community Service, New Business of the Year, Outstanding Business of the Year, Environmental Awareness, and Business Leader of the Year. This year, four Community Excellence Awards will be presented to businesses, nonprofits, or community organizations and one Community Excellence Award will be presented to an individual.

For the first time, the nomination process for the Kent Chamber’s signature award will be open to the entire community and not just members of the chamber.

We are proud to honor those that have excelled at working tirelessly for the benefit of all who call Kent County home.
