The Chamber wishes to thank the community for their nominations for annual awards – Business of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, and Ambassador of the Year. New for 2026, the Business of the Year Award will have three different categories: Small Business, Large Business, and Non-Profit Organization.
The Spirit of Perry Business of the Year Award celebrates a business that best embodies the spirit of the Perry Chamber of Commerce and the Perry Community by serving as an example to others through their leadership, service and commitment.
The Jack Finneseth Memorial Volunteer of the Year Award celebrates an individual that best embodies the spirit and passion Mr. Finneseth had about volunteerism. Like Mr. Finneseth, these individuals goes above and beyond to ensure the success of many events and programs through selflessness and many volunteer hours, much of the time going unrecognized.
The Chamber Ambassador of the Year celebrates a volunteer that has shown great dedication to the Perry Chamber of Commerce over the past year through their attendance and volunteerism, representing the Chamber at events and supporting the Mission of the Organization.
Finalists will be announce prior to the Annual Dinner and recipients will be presented at the Annual Dinner.
