Criteria for Chamber Champions

Chamber Champion Awards were originally presented at the Chamber’s “Breakfast of Champions”. They are now awarded at the Chamber’s Annual Dinner/Meeting.

They are awarded to selected individuals, organizations, businesses, or industries who have demonstrated excellence in contributing to the goals and objectives of the Conneaut Area Chamber of Commerce. The awards criteria are meant to be broad, so that efforts in economic or civic improvements can be recognized.

A product or service, an idea or innovation, a success or investment that demonstrates commitment to the Conneaut Area Community, can be deemed a Chamber Champion.

Members of the Conneaut Area Chamber of Commerce may make nominations for Chamber Champions and the Chamber Board of Directors will determine the recipients of these honors. The Directors are not required to present every award, every year, and they may also choose to make special presentations from time to time.
