Our community has so many wonderful people and businesses who work to make our area better. Each year, the Currituck Chamber of Commerce presents its Annual Awards, sponsored by College of the Albemarle Small Business Center, for those special members making a difference.
Membership in good standing with the Currituck Chamber of Commerce is a requirement for most nominees (please refer to individual award applications for requirements). However, membership is not required to be a nominator.
Those submitting nominations are encouraged to include letters of support and materials to enhance each nomination packet. The more information supplied in the nomination, the better the nominee’s chance of being selected for the award. The number of applications received is not what determines who receives the award – quality of the application is what matters. You may and are encouraged to nominate your own business!
The deadline for nominations was August 2, 2024.
For more information, please contact the Chamber at 252.435.9497 or juanita@currituckchamber.org.
