The Bowie Chamber of Commerce is now accepting nominations for its top awards of the year that will be presented at the Jan. 27 banquet.
Theme for the banquet is “Mind Your Business,” with the goal for business members to be attentive and promote their business throughout the chamber and the community. Members will showcase themselves as they volunteered to decorate a table for the banquet.
Tickets to the banquet are now on sale at the chamber office at $40 each. They also will be available online on the chamber’s website.
Each year the chamber presents awards for Business of the Year, Community Support Award and the Frances Brite Citizen of the Year. All nominations are strictly confidential.
Deadline for all categories is Jan. 17. Email info@bowietxchamber.org or drop them off at the office located at 101 East Pecan Street. Nomination forms are on the chamber website at bowietxchamber.org. Nominations will be reviewed by the committee and the results announced during the banquet.
