ABOUT
The Blue Ribbon Awards were created in 2007 to honor excellence in business on the South Shore. The awards program recognized businesses, organizations, and individuals for achievements, community contributions, and milestones. It was one of the largest business awards programs on the South Shore, bringing together over 300 local business leaders, entrepreneurs, organizations, community members, and government officials.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The process began with the community. The Tahoe Chamber asked for the help of all Tahoe South residents to nominate Chamber Members into each category. Residents logged into the Tahoe Chamber website to view the list of members and categories, then nominated by completing a brief questionnaire. If their nominee wasn’t listed, they could send them a link to join as a member and become eligible for the next year’s awards.
