Celebrate the Achievements of Outstanding Business People at the 89th Annual Dinner & Awards Banquet

Once a year, The Chamber honors outstanding local businesses and business people who have made a difference in keeping the economy strong and the community prosperous.  We honor these local “stars” at our Annual Dinner & Awards Banquet, held in September. 

Anticipation is building for the announcement of our 2008 award winners.  Whose dedication and outstanding commitment to our community over the years will earn him/her the coveted title of “First Citizen of the Year?”  Who will join the ranks of companies like Airport Chevrolet, Hometown Buffet and Les Schwab as “Retailer of the Year?”  Other awards to be given out include Business Excellence in small, medium and large categories, Member of the Year and New Member of the Year, as well as Outstanding Corporate Citizen in non-profit and for-profit categories.

We will also be awarding one lucky high school student with the Future First Citizen Scholarship Award, in memory of William R. Haas, sponsored by Umpqua Bank.  This student will receive a $5,000 scholarship to college and also a coveted spot in The Chamber’s Leadership Medford/Jackson County program during their senior year of high school.

*Invitations will be mailed by the third week in August.
