The awards luncheon will be held March 15, 2017 from 11:30am to 1:00pm at the Horizon Convention Center.
The Al Rent Spirit of Muncie Award was created in 2002 to honor Al Rent and his support and volunteerism with the Muncie-Delaware County Chamber of Commerce. In Mr. Rent’s honor, this annual award is presented at the Chamber Champions awards luncheon. Nominees for this award should volunteer for the Chamber of Commerce and be a role model, a respected leader and a valued community volunteer. Nominees should also be motivational and maintain a highly positive attitude. To nominate someone, please contact Brenda Brumfield at the Chamber. Nominations are due by March 1st.
Ambassador of the Year is awarded to one of our dedicated Chamber Ambassadors each year. A specific numeric scoring system is used to determine who will receive this prestigious award.
Longevity Awards are to recognize local businesses that have been in business continuously for periods of 15, 25, 50, 75 and 100+ years. Businesses who would like to be considered for one of these awards, please contact Brenda Brumfield at the Chamber.
