What happens when bold ideas, deep purpose and relentless drive come together in one room?

You saw it at the 2025 ChamberChoice Awards – on stage, in the crowd and in every story shared. These weren’t just winners. They were the visionaries, the builders and the doers behind some of the most meaningful progress happening across our region.

The event was more than a celebration. It was a reminder of what’s possible when businesses put people first, take risks for the right reasons and stay rooted in purpose. With 426 nominations and 92 official applicants, this year’s honorees stood out not just for what they’ve achieved, but for how they’re doing it – with grit, generosity and relentless forward momentum.

These organizations aren’t waiting for change. They’re driving it. Whether launching new initiatives, creating space for diverse voices or showing up for our community in big and small ways, they’re helping shape a future that’s more resilient, more inclusive and more connected.

Let’s keep that energy going—and keep building the kind of region we all want to live, work and thrive in.
