PBC Business of the Month Award nominations are being accepted now!
In our ongoing support of Penfield Business Chamber (PBC) members, we will present a Business of the Month award in recognition of a PBC member business that exemplifies contribution(s) to the Penfield community, PBC involvement, and/or charitable works.
This recognition is given to a different PBC member each month and brings awareness to their business contributions to the Penfield community. Recipients receive a certificate awarding them with the title of PBC’s Business of the Month. Additionally, recipients will be publicly recognized in the PBC newsletter and on PBC social media platforms, and will be given an outside sandwich sign for an entire month, designating their business as the Penfield Business Chamber’s Business of the Month.
We invite you to nominate a business (or your own) for consideration as the Business of the Month. To have your nomination be considered, please click here to fill out your form, inputting as much information about the business as possible. **This is an ongoing nomination process.
