The annual award recognizes a business or organization that voluntarily engages in activities that enhance the quality of life in the community and supports these endeavors through personal time and resources.
Each nominated company has a solid reputation for showing benefits of service to the community by creating a corporate culture of giving with an emphasis on community volunteerism unrelated to their core mandate.
All nominees and sponsors are invited to attend the Mayor’s Nominee Reception on Sept. 10 at TIME Winery & Kitchen, to RSVP visit the chamber’s website. All category winners will be revealed at the Business Excellence Awards “Mad about Plaid” Gala, hosted at the Penticton Lakeside Resort on Oct. 5.
