Annual Awards Banquet

In 1957, the Mt. Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce began what would become a time-honored tradition to honor Mt. Pleasant’s exceptional citizens. Held each year in March, this night of celebration honors individuals and businesses from the Mt. Pleasant community, including the Large and Small Business of the Year, Innovation Award, Economic Impact Award, and all of the best volunteers from service clubs and nonprofit organizations with the Shirley M. Decker Eagle Awards. The Chamber’s highest honor, the Citizen of the Year Award, is the highlight of the evening as it is a surprise to the recipient and all attendees. The Mt. Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Banquet is an award ceremony you don’t want to miss.
