Each year the Palmyra Chamber of Commerce hosts an Annual Awards Banquet to honor some of our community’s finest. Celebrated and acknowledged are those who help make Palmyra such a wonderful community in which to live and work. Awards are presented for Citizen of the Year, Educator of the Year and Volunteer of the Year. A business that has enhanced its appearance is presented the Paint Brush Award. A local business that has provided years of service is inducted into the Business Hall of Fame. The outgoing president recognizes an individual who has gone above and beyond with a President’s Award. Lastly, service awards let outgoing Board members know how much they are appreciated. Since the banquet is held in January, awards are for the previous calendar year.
