Business Awards
Upland Chamber of Commerce Business Awards
Each June, the Upland Chamber of Commerce proudly hosts its Annual Installation Dinner, where we celebrate leadership, service, and business excellence within our community. In addition to installing our incoming Chairperson, Executive Board, and new Board Members—and recognizing our dedicated Ambassador Team—we honor outstanding businesses and individuals through our annual Business Awards.
These awards recognize organizations and professionals who demonstrate exceptional commitment to the Chamber and the greater Upland community. Honorees are selected in the following categories:
- Nonprofit Business of the Year
- Small Business of the Year (Fewer than 25 employees)
- Large Business of the Year (More than 25 employees)
- Businessperson of the Year (An individual who exemplifies leadership, service, and dedication)
Nominees are thoughtfully reviewed by our Nomination Committee based on their community involvement, support of Chamber initiatives, financial and in-kind contributions, volunteerism, and status as a member in good standing.
This special evening is a celebration of the people and businesses that help make Upland a thriving and vibrant place to live, work, and do business.
Voting for the Upland Chamber of Commerce Business Awards opens on May 1st and is available to both Chamber members and the broader community through our website at uplandchamber.org. Participants are invited to cast their votes for the nominees in each category, helping recognize outstanding businesses and individuals in our community. To ensure fairness and integrity in the process, only one vote per person will be accepted, and any duplicate entries will not be counted.
