LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

For 50 years, the Chamber of Commerce has been honoring individuals for their
exemplary service to our community. Known to many as the Mr., Mrs., Ms. Canandaigua
Award, the name of the award has been changed to recognize the full and selfless lives
of its honorees. Candidates for this award have demonstrated a lifetime of service to
Canandaigua — beyond that which can be expected from one person — and they’ve done
it without expectation of financial gain. By engraving a new name on the customary silver
bowl, we are recognizing that a life spent in service to others is worthy of celebration.

at each event gain familiarity with the host’s
operations while meeting new people and 109th ANNUAL DINNER

2019 YEAR in REVIEW

Updated FindIt
Refreshed in 2019, FIND IT will transition in 2020
from a fold-out map to a pocket-friendly booklet.
The booklet is part of the Chamber’s response to an
identified community need: to connect downtown
to the waterfront. The pedestrian-friendly piece
will also focus on historic North Main Street and
Eastern Boulevard, and offer affordable advertising
for businesses and attractions looking to engage
travelers and tourists.

Ribbon Cuttings
Whether opening a new business, renovating a
current site or recognizing your new affiliation with
the Chamber, ribbon-cuttings are a very high-profile ATHENA LEADERSHIP AWARDS
way to meet new people and tell your story!

Chamber University
Delivering information and insights to our members
is a key component of what we do. Chamber
University is where we bring together businesses
that face skills and compliance gaps with subject
matter experts from within our membership to
deliver affordable, high-quality opportunities to
learn skills, develop talents and empower growth.

that affect all of us — The State of the County, City
and Town … even our public schools, community
college and health system. It’s part of how we connect
the people and issues of Ontario County to share in
successes, identify common challenges and define a
common path forward.

35th Annual Canandaigua

ATHENA Leadership Awards Dinner
Co-hosted with the Professional Women of the
Finger Lakes, the Chamber held its thirty-fifth annual
Canandaigua ATHENA Leadership Awards event in
November. Nearly 400 guests recognized nominees and

and visitors draws on the strength of our corps of SPEED NETWORKING EVENT
volunteers. In our downtown Visitor Center and over
the phone, volunteers provide travelers, tourists and
patrons of CMAC with guidance for lodging, dining,
sightseeing (and in the case of CMAC, customer
support and lost-and-found).
