Nominations Open for Annual Chamber Banquet
Carthage, MO
11/29/2021 10:38 AM
One Carthage resident will be named Citizen of the Year at the Chamber of Commerce Awards. The Chamber of Commerce wants to hear from you. Submit your nominee for consideration. The Citizen of the Year Award will be presented to an individual who has had a tremendous impact on the Carthage community. Persons nominated for this award must:
  • Be a current Carthage resident
  • Actively volunteer with various organizations or events
  • Show pride in Carthage
  • Be highly regarded in the community
  • Contribute to the overall well-being of Carthage
  • Be dedicated to improving the lives of others in Carthage

 

All business owners want their facilities to be efficient, attractive, and beneficial to their business’s bottom line, but some business owners invest extra time and effort into their facilities. A very few businesses devote an extraordinary amount of energy and resources. The Chamber of Commerce will recognize one such extraordinary business in January with their annual Spotlight Award. Residents are encouraged to nominate businesses for this award. 

The Spotlight Award will be presented to a local business that enhanced the business community in Carthage in 2021 through improvements or expansions to their business location.

 

 

Small businesses make up a huge part of every community’s economy. The same is true for Carthage, and the Chamber of Commerce will thank one exceptional small business when they present the Small Business of the Year Award. Nominations are currently being accepted for this award. Customers, employees and community members are encouraged to nominate businesses for this award. The Small Business of the Year Award will be presented to a local business that has presented a positive image and has been a vibrant entity within the Carthage business community. Recipient must be a Chamber member in good standing and have fewer than 50 employees.

 

 

The Athena Leadership Award is presented to one individual (man or woman) each year in recognition of those who support, develop, and honor women leaders and assist women in reaching their full leadership potential.

Past recipients are ineligible for nominations. For a full list of all past recipients, please visit the Chamber at 402 S. Garrison. Contact the Chamber office for a nomination form. Nominations must be received by 5:00 p.m. Friday, December 10, 2021 to be considered.

"The Carthage Chamber has made an impressive impact on my business with the constant events and advertising opportunities they provide throughout the year. The Chamber staff is always willing to help promote any activity I may be having at my store. Small Business Saturday is a prime example!"

Willy Waggoner – Owner of Boomer’s BBQ & Catering

"Although I had experience in my field, I didn’t have many Carthage connections. Attending chamber events and helping on committees has introduced me to potential clients, affiliates, and friends. Those relationships have helped my business grow faster than I would have without help from the Carthage Chamber. "

Tyler Smith – Senior Vice President at Southwest Missouri Bank

"What began as a business partnership with the Chamber has truly developed into some amazing interpersonal relationships with Chamber staff and other members. There are so many great nonprofit organizations in our area. I am thankful that my relationship with the Chamber has allowed me to be "top-of-mind" with a growing group of people."

Mike Brown – Executive Director at Big Brother’s Big Sisters of Jasper and Newton Counties

"The networking opportunities, resources, and support provided have been invaluable in helping promote and grow the YMCA brand in our community. Julie and her team are detailed and always fun to work with. I highly recommend becoming a chamber member to any business looking to establish strong connections and achieve long-term success in Carthage, MO."

Jonathan Roberts – CEO/Executive Director at the Fair Acres Family YMCA

"During an event at the Phelps House, a TV station news reporter showed up, camera in tow, and asked for an interview. I asked the reporter how he heard about the event - I'd been so busy and hadn't thought about notifying the TV stations. The reporter commented that they look through local Chamber event notices to see what's happening in the area that would be of interest to their viewing audience. We received a TV promotion and free advertisement thanks to the Carthage Chamber helping to spread the word about our events!"

Tommie Baldwin – Manager at the Phelps House
