Additionally, winners for the individual categories of Educator of the Year, Chamber Champion, and Citizen of the Year will also be announced at the event. These awards are determined exclusively by panel reviews, without community voting, to recognize exceptional individual contributions in education, chamber involvement, and community service.

“We are thrilled to see such a diverse and impressive group of nominees this year,” said Kai Compton, Executive Director at the Maysville Area Chamber of Commerce. “This event not only recognizes the outstanding achievements of our local businesses and leaders but also strengthens the bonds within our community. We encourage everyone in the area to participate in the voting process to support their favorites and look forward to unveiling all our winners at our annual awards dinner.”
