Your Partner for Success 2026 Annual Gala Awards Nominations


Nominate a Success Story

Success rarely happens in isolation.

A conversation becomes a partnership. An idea becomes a business. A business creates jobs. A leader inspires others. A volunteer strengthens a community. An investment creates opportunity.

The Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce & Industry invites you to nominate a business, entrepreneur, leader, organization, or community champion whose achievements demonstrate how connecting people, ideas, investment, and opportunity creates a stronger Sullivan County.

The Your Partner for Success Annual Awards Gala will celebrate six important connections that contribute to the success of our community.
