Sequim's "Shining Star" Member of the Month Award was founded in 2016 to recognize local businesses and organizations that go above and beyond, collaborate with other businesses and organizations, and represent the spirit of community in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley.
Recipients are selected as candidates by Chamber Staff, Volunteers & Ambassadors who recognize something special and out of the ordinary that a local business has done. Our Board of Directors then votes on who will receive the award each month, an article is written about the 'shining star' in our newsletter, and a certificate and celebration ensues.
This award is designed to shine a light on everything from a 'pay it forward' act of generosity, to a major philanthropic contribution. These businesses and organizations play a critical role in our economy and contribute immensely to the quality of life for all our citizens, and it is our tremendous honor to recognize this service.
Do you have a business or organization you would like to nominate? Contact Chamber Staff and we will happily include them in our nomination process!
Thank you for all you do in our community!
