It’s time to nominate Missoula businesses for the Annual Circle of Excellence Award.  The Circle of Excellence Award was first presented in 1997 following a long tradition of a former award called The Champion Award.  The Circle of Excellence award is the Chamber’s most prestigious award given to a business, which meets high standards of community involvement and social responsibility.

The criteria for the Circle of Excellence Award places primary emphasis on the following:

 Length of time in business, examples of time and dollars donated to the community (annually and over the past 5, 10 or 15 years), reinvestment back into the community through facility expansion or remodel, list of organizations supported by your business over the years, volunteer involvement by employees, and any additional information you feel the selection committee should know.
 

Nominated Businesses are required to complete a nomination form and gather any additional information on their business that would be helpful to the selection committee.
