This year, the Chamber will host its 32nd annual Small Business Award to help recognize our small business members and their impact on our local economy. The event, to be held May 1 at the Oasis Hotel & Convention Center, will honor the top five finalists in the W. Curtis Strube Small Business Award competition and will culminate with the announcement of the 2024 award recipient.

If you know a Springfield area for-profit small business with 50 or fewer employees organization-wide, nominate them (or your own business) for the 2024 Small Business Award! Nominated businesses must be Chamber members in good standing.

Nominations may be made anonymously.

Chamber staff will contact nominated businesses with a short application to complete, which covers company history, response to challenges, innovative products or services, and community-oriented contributions. Nominated businesses do not need to disclose financial information or host site visits. 

The deadline for nominations is Wednesday, January 31.
