Penticton Chamber announces 2020 Business Excellence finalists

Excellence in business

Finalists for the Penticton Chamber of Commerce's 33rd Annual Business Excellence Awards were announced Tuesday at a special event hosted by Total Restoration Services.

The 2020 selection committee is composed of ten business leaders, which have selected the finalists for each award category. Each award category had a specific award criteria and judging matrix to help guide the judges. After the results were decided, they were provided to the Chamber in confidence. The next process for the selection committee is to connect with each finalist to determine the 2020 award recipient. 

The committee added that this is an opportunity for the judges to learn more about your business. 

The chamber would like to thank the 2020 selection committee for volunteering their time in helping with this year’s Business Excellence Awards.

“Congratulations to all the nominees. The very fact that you were nominated means that people you serve believe in you and your business should be recognized for your excellence,” Nicole Clark, Penticton & Wine Country Chamber President said in a press release.

“During this very challenging year I have been so impressed with the innovation, determination and pure heart that our business community has demonstrated.”
