Application Process For the IMPACT Award:
Companies are nominated for the IMPACT Award. Companies are welcome to self nominate. Once nominations are in, applications are sent to all eligible companies. Companies have approximately 5 weeks to complete and return applications. Committee members review and rate each company. In August, finalists are selected and in September, a full day is devoted to visiting each of the finalist companies. At this point the slate is “wiped clean” and the committee bases the final decision on what is seen and heard that day.

The Business Council Awards, new in 2010, recognize an outstanding company located in each jurisdiction (Henrico, Hanover, Chesterfield and the city of Richmond.) The IMPACT Award winner, along with the winners of the Business Council Awards, will be honored at the Chamber’s Annual Dinner in November.

Congratulations to our 2011 IMPACT Award recipient, Container First Services!
