Our hearts are FULL. After 15 long months, we were back at the Nampa Civic Center last week for a Nampa Chamber Luncheon. It was so great to be in community with our members again, in person!

As a special treat, we moved our Awards of Excellence to this luncheon. Congratulations to all our winners:

Member of the Year: Idaho Small Business Development Center

Jeff Tunison Community Integrity Award: Saint Alphonsus, St. Luke's Health System, Southwest District Health, Primary Health Medical Group, Terry Reilly Health Services, and Saltzer Health

Ambassador of the Year: Kenny Wroten

Board Member of the Year: Mike Peña

The event also featured a special tribute to Bert Glandon upon his retirement from the College of Western Idaho. Thank you to Mayor Debbie Kling and the Idaho State Board of Education for helping us with this special recognition.

Our event concluded with the first-ever Pay It Forward Scholarship in honor of Bert Glandon. The recipient was our very own Chamber Ambassador and the Nampa School District's Mari Ramos. Congratulations!

Thank you to our award sponsor, Idaho Central Credit Union, and our dessert sponsor, Republic Services. It was truly an honor to host our amazing community back together again!
