2025 Business Awards Breakfast

Chamber members, now is the time to nominate your favorite local businesses for awards!

The Salem-Roanoke County Chamber of Commerce recognizes a small and large business of the year in Salem and Roanoke County at our Annual Business Awards Breakfast. This is our Chamber’s most celebrated event and a time to honor our local heroes, community members, and winners of our small and large business, regional business, and nonprofit organizations of the year. The event has sold out the last 5 years, with a record attendance every year.

These businesses demonstrate interest and involvement with the general community through the support of area not-for-profits, community causes, business development activities, and/or volunteering. They uphold our Chamber values by actively supporting the advancement of business in the community and are actively engaged in the Chamber.

In addition, the Chamber recognizes the "Citizen of the Year", an award that is given to an individual, a group of people, or an entity. The recipient must have demonstrated involvement in the regional community through support of area not-for-profits, community causes, business development activities, and/or volunteering. The Citizen of the Year recipient has developed creative ways to help solve a community challenge. Chamber membership is not required to be eligible for this award.

A full breakfast will be served. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early, grab a coffee from the beverage bar, and connect with other Chamber members.
