The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce has announced that the Citizen of the Year award will be making a return this fall.
The award dates back to 1973 but has been on hiatus since 2022.
The chamber has partnered with VAST Resource Solutions to bring back the award at this year’s Business Excellence Awards.
The chamber has also launched a new education grant to be announced during the awards.
“The Chamber is incredibly proud to lead these meaningful designations,” said Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Stacey Brensrud.
“The return of the Citizen of the Year Award and the inaugural presentations of our Education Grants are the perfect complement to the Business Excellence Awards—a night dedicated to celebrating the changemakers of Cranbrook. Chamber members are at the heart of this work, and our volunteer Board Directors are the visionaries who advance the success of local business.”
The award show will take place on Oct. 24 at the Key City Theatre.
