Limited tickets remain to the 2024 Collaborative Awards recognizing 42 finalists and 6 Winners
PORTSMOUTH--With a 750+ membership, it’s never easy – nor should it be—for the Chamber Collaborative of Greater Portsmouth—our Chamber of Commerce-- to select its annual award nominees and winners.
Chamber President and Chief Collaborator Ben VanCamp said, “Each of our nominees are worthy of recognition and we’re thankful for the committee that deliberated to bring this slate of award winners to the event. And we’re delighted to invite everyone out to celebrate!”
The Chamber is pleased to announce the nominees who will be recognized at a special Collaborative Awards Luncheon on Dec. 2 at the Envio.
The award recipients are under wraps until the event itself, for which there remain very limited tickets available at PortsmouthCollaborative.org/awards.
The outstanding list of nominees are below, and there is also one special surprise award that will be going out to someone who has been very special to the Portsmouth community at large. That award is called City of the Open Door Award presented by Newburyport Bank.
