The Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce (ARCC), along with 250 guests, gathered at the Queensbury Hotel Conference Center in early October to celebrate 44 nominees across seven categories at the annual ARCC Business Awards. The event, held annually, is the culmination of months of preparation by a group of volunteers and ARCC staff. The result is a beautiful breakfast ceremony honoring the accomplishments of the business community.
The nomination process began in May, resulting in a record number of nominations. Throughout the summer, the volunteer Business Awards Nomination Committee met with and interviewed each nominee. After completing the interviews, the committee reconvened to discuss key takeaways and score the nominees.
After hearing brief summaries of each business and nonprofit, the winners for 2024 were announced:
Large Nonprofit of the Year: Behavioral Health Services North (BHSN), celebrating 150 years of service, focuses on providing mental health treatment, rehabilitation, and support to families in the North Country.
