The Monrovia Chamber of Commerce has the privilege each year of giving recognition to three exceptional individuals from the community with three prestigious awards. The Iris Award, which is equivalent to Citizen of the Year; the Monroe Award, for Business Person of the Year; and the Dick Lord Award for outstanding service to the Monrovia Chamber of Commerce. Last year, the Chamber added two additional awards, the Military Service and Stewardship Award to honor a Veteran or person working to assist Veteran’s causes. The Blue Star Families nominate a person for this award. The other award added last year was the New Member Business of the Year Award to recognize a new member of the Chamber for their involvement throughout the year, the recipient of this award is selected by the board of directors. As well as presenting these awards, the Chamber also introduces the Board of Directors for the coming year.
The Chamber extends an invitation to the community to nominate an individual they believe deserves recognition in one of these categories. The nomination forms are available on the Monrovia Chamber of Commerce website, www.monroviacc.com.The nomination forms are due by Wednesday, October 15, 2014.
The Chamber extends an invitation to the community to attend the Annual Membership & Awards Dinner to honor and support these deserving members of our community and meet our incoming board. So save the date for the annual dinner on Friday, January 30, 2015 at the Doubletree Hotel, Monrovia.
