Our Pinnacle Awards Luncheon celebrated community.
It was a joyful occasion to gather our members together again after more than a year of being apart due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Over 150 guests attended the outdoor luncheon and awards ceremony at Beaver Meadow Golf Course in Concord. Thank you to all who helped us honor outstanding businesses and leaders on June 16.
The event recognized Small Business of the Year Constantly Pizza, Inc. Besides serving delicious meals to the Concord and Penacook communities, Constantly Pizza also runs an active catering business and supports countless local nonprofits by serving delicious food at community fundraisers. They have also gone above and beyond to support neighbor businesses, especially when the need is greatest.
Associated Grocers of New England, Inc. received the Business of the Year award. Despite representing one of the industries most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, they provided exceptional services to their member stores, and grew their philanthropic and community-focused efforts to better the communities we live in. Their essential work this past year allowed our society to endure challenges during this historic time. 
The Nonprofit Business of the Year was Best Buddies of New Hampshire. This organization creates social and professional opportunities for students and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This past year, Best Buddies grew their programs and established new ways to serve the community, connecting program participants throughout New England.
Nicolette Clarke of Capitol Center for the Arts and Bank of New Hampshire Stage was recognized as Business Leader of the Year. She received a standing ovation for her profound impact on the Greater Concord community. Her advocacy for arts organizations throughout the state, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, has changed the dynamic of our business culture, and created awareness of the essential role that cultural institutions have in our local economy. 
The event also honored W. Grant McIntosh Volunteer of the Year, Josh Hardy of ConcordTV, Your Community Channels and Concord Young Professional of the Year, Annika Stanley-Smith of Granite United Way - Merrimack County Region. The Chamber Board of Directors also presented a surprise award that recognized Chamber President, Tim Sink, for his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic.
