Honoring Purpose, Leadership, and Impact in Our Community
NOMINATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED – AWARDEES WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN AUGUST.
The Greene County Chamber Recognition Gala has always been about celebrating the people behind the progress – the leaders, helpers, builders, and visionaries who make this an incredible place to live and work. For 2025, we’ve refreshed the process to make the event even more meaningful – and more reflective of the spirit of Greene County.
With new award categories, a clear nomination process, and more ways for members to participate, this is your chance to help recognize the people and organizations who lead with heart, grit, and generosity.
This isn’t about popularity. It’s about purpose. It’s about honoring those who show up, dig in, and make a difference – in quiet ways and bold ones.
What’s New This Year
- New award categories that better reflect today’s Greene County
- Clear criteria for each award – listed directly on the nomination forms. Chamber members can now submit nominations directly
- Finalists and winners will be selected by a board-appointed review committee
- Please note: Nominations and voting are open to current Greene County Chamber members only.
Nominees (with the exception of the Community Impact Award) must also be Chamber members in good standing.
Award Categories
- Business Leader of the Year
