Chamber Banquet Nominations are Live

Are you aware of a business, nonprofit organization or leader who is making a significant impact in McKenzie?

The McKenzie Chamber of Commerce invites individuals to submit their nominations for this year’s Chamber Banquet.

In a change from previous banquets, anyone is eligible for nomination — not just Chamber members. However, Chamber members will receive additional points during the evaluation process.

“Our goal is to acknowledge all individuals, businesses, organizations, nonprofits, and Chamber members who contribute positively to our community,” said Chamber Director Monica Heath.

This year, the Chamber will give out four awards: Businessperson of the Year, Small Business of the Year (1-49 employees), Large Business of the Year (50+ employees) and Non-Profit of the Year.

Nominees will be judged based on their community engagement, impact, leadership, workforce development and innovation.

Nominations are due by Monday, May 25, 2026. To nominate an individual or business, visit the McKenzie Chamber of Commerce’s website.

This year’s Chamber Banquet is Tuesday, June 16, from 6-8 p.m. at Bethel University’s Vera Low Cafeteria. Tickets go on sale Monday, April 20.
