The Yuma County Chamber of Commerce recognizes many inspiring leaders in the greater Yuma area. We have no shortage of people who can translate intentions into reality and sustain them. Through our different award programs, the Chamber acknowledges a few, recognizing them for their contributions to the Chamber and the community at large.
Athena International Award
The Athena Award acknowledges local women who have attained and personified the highest level of excellence in their business or profession, devoted meaningful time and energy to the community, and generously assisted women in achieving their full potential. If you would like more information about the Athena International Award, please get in touch with our office.
InstaGRAMMY
The InstaGRAMMY was created to recognize a Chamber member who supports the Chamber and the community with their positive outreach through social media. Whether it's sharing posts, spreading the word about programs, or simply providing positive comments to uplift others, this person is a fixture on community and business Facebook, Instagram, and other social media sites.
Chamber Champion
The Chamber Champion acknowledges a Chamber member who promotes the Chamber and its mission. They are often found at events talking about how the Chamber has helped their business and always encouraging businesses to join due to the benefits they have gained from being a member.
Member of the Month and Member of the Year
The Member of the Month award is a tribute to Chamber members who go all out, giving their time, energy, and donations to support the community. This award is presented at a Good Morning Yuma breakfast. The Member of the Year award is selected from the previous year's Member of the Month recipients and presented each year at the Awards and Installation Dinner.
Small Business Person Of The Year
The Small Business-Person of the Year award recognizes local business people operating successfully in the Yuma market and contributing to high standards of excellence and community participation. It is presented each year at the Annual Dinner & Chance Auction.
