Business & Community Achievement Awards

2017 BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY

ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS

 On Thursday, May 4th, 2017, the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce recognizes ‘leaders and achievers’ in the 16^th Annual celebration of Nanaimo’s business community for their achievements this year.

Last year, some four hundred people celebrated the nominees and winners in an ‘Oscar-night’ style event. Jazz in the lobby and a 10-piece band on stage welcomed winners, their families and friends during a fantastic evening.

“Awards Night” is the culmination of a process that starts with open, public nominations of over a hundred businesses chosen by their followers in the community. “The Awards” recognize a commitment to quality product development and service delivery by an individual or a group, and a sign of the community’s appreciation. This year, there is a heightened emphasis on ‘community’, as indicated in the name change. This recognizes the many community activities that are an integral part of the business community. It also a reminder of our brand statement – “Better Community Through Better Business”.

“The Awards” create local pride-of-place by inviting friendly competitiveness within the business community.  If you have a friend in business or your network who deserves recognition – nominate them! Any business in the region can nominate themselves, colleagues, employers, or employees.
