Awards season is here, and this year it’s extra special! On April 17, we’re rolling out the red carpet to honor the remarkable businesses, nonprofits and community members who make Conifer an incredible place to live and work. And we’re also celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Conifer Area Chamber of Commerce!

This annual event is all about shining a light on the dedication, creativity and hard work that fuels our community. Whether it’s a home-based business thriving without a storefront, a new venture making waves in its first two years, or a nonprofit creating meaningful change—this night is for YOU.

Behind every great business or nonprofit is a powerful network of support—dedicated employees, enthusiastic volunteers and loyal customers. On this special night, we celebrate them all.

Visit AnnualAwards.goconifer.com to learn more and see this year’s winners.

Every April, we also honor and thank our outgoing board of directors members for their dedicated service as they pass the torch to new leaders.
