- WALL OF FAME
- Wall of Fame nominees will have made an “extra effort” through the contribution of time, talent and financial support in professional and personal endeavors to enhance quality of life in Weber County. The Wall of Fame is a forum to honor those who have given back to the local community, versus honoring those who have brought acclaim to the area through contribution to the arts, medicine, politics, etc. It is not necessary to honor the recipient’s spouse unless the spouse has also participated in making significant contributions.
- LARGE BUSINESS OF THE YEAR
- Large Business-of-the-Year nominees must be businesses within Weber County with more than 100 employees and be actively engaged in the Chamber. Additionally, nominees should be organizations who are recognized leaders within the community and their industry. They are a positive and moving force in building business and community prosperity in Weber County.
- SMALL BUSINESS OF THE YEAR
- Small-Business-of-the-Year nominees must be businesses within Weber County with fewer than 100 employees and be actively engaged with the Chamber. Additionally, nominees should demonstrate innovative approaches to small business and provide exceptional products and services.
- VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR
- Volunteer-of-the-Year nominees must be actively engaged with the Chamber and should be individuals with passion for community service. You see these individuals almost everywhere giving of themselves and improving the lives of others.
