Business Excellence Awards Gala 2024

The Mammoth Lakes Chamber of Commerce has been running the Business Excellence Awards program for eight years. This year, we are making some slight changes to how award recipients are selected. 

Step 1
Nominations for the awards are submitted by community members. To encourage well thought out submissions, the nominating process is currently open and will close August 1. A short narrative will be required for all nominations. We want to see HOW that business or person has excelled.

Step 2
The Business Excellence Awards Selection Committee will narrow down the nominations to three per category. This group is made up of past winners, community leaders, a Chamber President from outside the area and Mammoth Lakes Chamber staff. The committee will meet in August and step 3 will begin around Labor Day. 

Step 3
This is the biggest change from prior years. Each Mammoth Lakes Chamber of Commerce member will be allotted one vote per category. Step 3 will not be a community vote, only members will be deciding the award recipients. The Chamber will send out the final voting email to the primary email address we have in our database for each member.  Final voting will be available September 4 - October 2.

Categories

• Business of the Year
• Business Person of the Year
• Customer Service Person of the Year
• New Business of the Year
• Non-Profit of the Year
• Green Business of the Year
• Business Front of the Year
• Young Professional of the Year 

Criteria:

• Must be a current Mammoth Lakes Chamber of Commerce member
• Winners of the awards could not have won in that category in 2023
  • They could have been honorable mentions in past years
  • They could have won in a different category in past years
• For awards for individuals, they cannot be in multiple categories; however, that does not disqualify the business that they represent.
