The Small Business of the Year Award recognizes a Chamber Partner who has shown great growth, significant achievements, or realized economic and cultural growth that benefits the Midlands business community.

The Diversity & Inclusion Award celebrates a Chamber Partner that goes above and beyond to implement and advocate for an inclusive and diverse work environment.

The Hospitality Industry Award recognizes exceptional Chamber Partners of Columbia’s hospitality industry – from restaurants and tourist attractions, to transportation companies, hotels and event facilities.  The selected business or company should display a contribution to making Columbia a world-class place to live, work, and visit.

The Workforce Development Award honors Chamber Partners that are working to create innovative strategies in an effort to retain a dynamic, resilient, and highly skilled workforce equipped for meeting current industry needs within the greater Midlands region.

Finally, the Golden Nail Award is given to a business or property owner for exemplary contributions to the physical character of the greater Midlands region through cosmetic or commercial means during the previous calendar year.
