Each year, the Chamber of Commerce takes pride in recognizing individuals and businesses and organizations in our community who truly represent what is best about our community.  The Chamber’s Annual Awards program serves as an opportunity for us to identify those who have gone above and beyond in helping to ensure that Santa Maria continues to be the premier community in our region in which to live and work.

We are fortunate to have countless nonprofits serving Santa Maria and helping to improve our local community. We appreciate your help in bringing to our attention local nonprofit organizations who deserve consideration for our Nonprofit of the Year award.

All nominations must be received by the Chamber of Commerce no later than June 23, 2023.
