Maryville Chamber Ambassadors calling for Business of the Month nominations

A thriving business community is a vital piece of a vibrant community.

Locally, the Greater Maryville Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors recognize the importance of customer service and honor the businesses who serve and support the community with the highest degree of care and professionalism.

The Greater Maryville Chamber of Commerce seeks to further highlight this by bringing the community an award for Business of the Month. This award is presented to a business that does extremely well in community involvement, economic growth, customer service and professional relationships.

To be eligible for this award, businesses must be in good standing with the chamber and should fit at least one of the following selection criteria:

• Have demonstrated outstanding support to the community or to the chamber.

• Provide superior customer service and/or products.

• Considered a successful and professional business by peers.

“We have some pretty amazing businesses in our region, and we want to celebrate that,” Amy Gessert, Maryville Chamber of Commerce executive director, said.

Help recognize an area business by nominating them for a Business of the Month award. Companies can be nominated by any customer or other chamber member. All nominations must be submitted on the Business of the Month nomination form accessible through or posted at area businesses or by submitting a form under the “Member” menu at maryvillechamber.com.

All verified nominations will remain for consideration for three months from the date of submission. When nominating a business, please keep the following criteria in mind: customer service, that is ease of accessibility, convenient hours, friendly and helpful staff; social responsibility shown by involvement in local activities and civic engagement by encouraging staff to volunteer; long-term commitment to local economic growth; proactive hiring standards for community members; and commitment to educational excellence.

The deadline for nominations is the first Friday of each month.
