Dianne Hawkins is the Executive Director of the Comox Valley Chamber
COMOX VALLEY – It’s that time again at the Chamber! The Chamber awards are taking place on January 30, 2021. Award nominations are now open!
Adjustments have been made to the award criteria to reflect the 2020 challenges individuals and businesses have faced. Nominations for the Chamber Awards opened on September 15, 2020. More information can be found at www.comoxvalleychamber.com.
The awards criteria has been adapted to reflect the challenges of 2020. For example, do you know an innovative business that has taken the COVID challenges and created opportunities? If you do, the Chamber invites you to nominate them.
Nominating is easy, send your contact name and information to the Chamber, tell us why you think a business/person deserves to be recognized with a Chamber award and the Chamber does the rest! Each nominee is interviewed personally to gather information and insight into the highlights and challenges each nominee/business has overcome or milestones reached in 2020.
The awards ceremony will be streamed virtually on January 30, 2021 this will allow the entire community to view the event at home. To reflect the new format, the Chamber has put together gala boxes available for purchase, these will be delivered directly to people’s homes to be enjoyed while watching the awards. Gala box options range from a simple popcorn and a movie-style box, to a catered meal with wine including glasses and table decor. This year’s theme for the awards is “We’re still standing”.
The idea for the theme came from Elton John’s song “I’m still standing”. We thought it was a great fit for the year. The Comox Valley is a great community! We have stayed and are staying strong, we’re innovative and best of all, local businesses have come together and supported one another tremendously.
Nominate someone, we all know a person or busines that has gone above and beyond to make life better for someone or overcome immense challenges in their day to day.
Do it for them.
