Celebration of Diversity Awards

About

In 1999, the San Angelo Chamber of Commerce held its first annual luncheon to celebrate and recognize businesses and individuals exemplifying diversity in our community. The latest criteria focus on the achievements and successes of the business owners, discovering how their diversity positively impacts and strengthens the greater San Angelo community.

 

Award Criteria

  • Awards are intended for women or minority individuals, and minority-owned and/or women-owned businesses.

  • Nominees may be self-nominated or nominated by a San Angelo resident.
