Member Recognition Awards  

A+ Awards 

Several times each year, the Education Committee recognizes local businesses that contribute to education and youth development in our community.  A+ Award recipients are recognized at the monthly Upbeat Breakfast, and receive an award certificate to display at their business.

Service Excellence Award

Every month, the committee "secret shops" member businesses to see who provides excellent customer service. Or, as past Chairman Joe Anderson says, we're looking for that "wow experience."  Then at the monthly Upbeat Breakfast, that business is presented the award, along with a Service Excellence plaque for them to display at their place of business. So, who nominates businesses for the Service Excellence award? You do! Email or phone Toni Sayler at 415-0112.
