Greater Shelby Chamber's "5th Annual Small Business Awards" Community Luncheon
 

The Chamber’s Small Business Work Group will host the Wednesday, May 24* Community Luncheon to celebrate the positive economic impact small business has on Shelby County. Nominees for the Chamber’s 2017 Small Business of the Year in five categories will be recognized and the recipients in each category will be announced.

The purpose of the "Small Business Awards" program, presented by Regions Bank, is to support Shelby County small businesses by recognizing successful companies and spotlight the businesses that play a vital role in building our Shelby County communities and overall economy.

The five categories for 2017 are:
