Do you know any ordinary SuperStars?

Culpeper Chamber of Commerce

Business Monday

September 29, 2014

Debbie Stohlman, Acting President/CEO

The Culpeper Chamber of Commerce is deep into planning our 100th Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet.  The November 6th celebration will focus on this organization’s history and the role it plays in making Culpeper an attractive place to locate a business, raise a family or simply visit.  

The mission of this Chamber is to be “The voice of the business community working to promote, build, and support the most effective climate for economic development.”

It seems we’ve managed to obtain this goal since we began in 1915.

Obviously there have been countless leaders and ordinary citizens that championed numerous causes and issues and made difficult decisions along the way.  It is easy to look back through time to get a clear picture of the many that were instrumental in moving our community forward.   But that picture isn’t quite so clear when you look at the here and now.  Why is that?  Could it be so obvious that it escapes our everyday notice?  Trust me, there are folks out there making Culpeper a better community for business, family and recreation.

The Chamber recognizes these ordinary Superstars each year at our Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet - its the highlight of the evening, especially in this, our 100th year.

And who are these ordinary superstars?  You tell us!   It could be the local business, large or small, that demonstrates growth, integrity, innovation, community engagement, volunteerism, customer service, and workforce development. It could be an entrepreneur that  willingly accepts the challenges of entering the business world in exchange for the potential benefits thereof.   Do you know a young professional that demonstrates creativity, innovation, character, consistency, and excellence in their field?  Do you have a soft spot in your heart for a non-profit organization that may offer a breadth and/or depth of services that improve the well-being of the community?  What about that certain person that consistently gives freely of himself or herself for the betterment of Culpeper?

If any of those questions bring a superstar to mind, please take a moment of your time to nominate them for one of the Chamber of Commerce awards - Small Business of the Year, Large Business of the Year, Non-Profit of the Year, Young Professional of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year or the prestigious L. B. Henrelly Memorial Citizenship Award.
