The Chamber’s Small Business Work Group will host the Wednesday, May 23 Community Luncheon to celebrate the positive economic impact small business has on Shelby County. Nominees for the Shelby County 2018 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 Chamber is also offering up to 10 businesses to participate in the
Showcase Feature Program during networking. What is the Showcase Feature Program? An opportunity for your organization to have a table during networking to share with attendees.
Showcase Tables are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
