On Monday, March 21st, the U.S. Chamber’s Dream Big Awards program officially opened for 2022 application submissions.  The annual awards celebrate the success of small businesses and highlight their contributions to America’s economic growth.  This year we will be collecting applications from small business owners through July 8, 2022.  We will be recognizing businesses in 8 different award categories: Community Support & Leadership, Emerging Business, Green/Sustainable Business, LGBTQ-Owned Business, Minority-Owned Business, Veteran-Owned Business, Woman-Owned Business, and Young Entrepreneur.  All completed applicants will be considered for the Small Business of the Year Award, a $25,000 cash prize!  We would like to ask for your help in promoting the awards to your network in your newsletters or other communication.  Therefore, we have created an internet toolkit you can use to share information about the award competition.  Access the internal toolkit here.  More information on the awards and the link to submit an application can be accessed by clicking here.
