3. 2010 Whitehorse Chamber of Commerce Awards
The Whitehorse Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that it’s that time of the year again, to nominate deserving business people for our Chamber Awards to be presented at our AGM on August 31st.
1. Chamber Volunteer of the Year
The foundation of the Whitehorse Chamber of Commerce stays strong because we have an active and committed group of volunteers. We are very grateful for this contribution and we could not exist without it. This award is presented to a member of the Whitehorse Chamber that has contributed, on a volunteer basis, to our success during the past year.
2. Best Service Award
A big part of the success of many businesses is the service and customer satisfaction they provide to their customers. When we visit an office, a dentist, a bank or any business, we form opinions very quickly about the level of service and customer satisfaction that we receive. The perception of value is also very closely related to the service we receive in a business. This award goes to that business which has excelled in the area of Service and Customer Satisfaction.
3. Giving Back to the Community Award – Community Contribution
Many organizations like the Whitehorse Chamber of Commerce, schools, sporting groups, and the Arts and Cultural Community rely on the generosity of the business community in their fundraising efforts. Our business community is very generous in their support of these groups and gladly sponsor the many events held in Whitehorse throughout the year. This award recognizes just one of these businesses that has given back to the community by supporting events, programs, projects, sports teams or has just been there for those in need of help.
4. Business Person of the Year Award
The Business Person of the Year is recognized as an individual that has run a successful business, has shown outstanding support to the community, as well as having contributed to the development of Whitehorse. This person typically volunteers his / her time by sitting on committees, by lending his / her expertise to help the city grow and prosper, and has shown a lasting commitment to the community. This is the person who is there when you need someone to help, this person graciously gives of their time and energy to assist with important projects, and is willing to volunteer their leadership skills with committees, planning activities or sitting on a Board of a non-profit.
If you know of a WTAY member who is also a Chamber member and displays any of the above listed qualities, please contact Samson to nominate them.
