A thriving business community is an important element in measuring quality of life. The year 2026 marks the 24th year that we will honor Chamber member businesses that have made an impression on our parish with one of our prestigious Business Appreciation Awards.
- LEGACY AWARD: Honors a thriving business that has been in operation for more than 20 years and has made a long-term commitment to St. Tammany Parish. Consideration may be given to the business's success, longevity, community involvement and lasting impact on the parish.
- TAMMANY PROUD AWARD: Honors a business whose products, services or accomplishments extend beyond St. Tammany Parish and help showcase our community to the region, state, nation or world. Consideration may be given to the business's reach, reputation, industry accomplishments and positive representation of St. Tammany.
- INNOVATION AWARD: Honors a company that has been in business for a minimum of two years in St. Tammany Parish and demonstrates “out-of-the-box” thinking and a creative approach to its business. This may include innovative products or services, technology, business practices, employee training or processes that have made a positive impact.
- GO GIVE AWARD: Honors a company that encourages employee involvement in the community, whether through volunteer service, financial or in-kind support, donated expertise or partnerships with worthy causes.
- SERVICE-WITH-A-SMILE AWARD: Honors a company known for its outstanding customer service and commitment to going above and beyond for its customers. Consideration may be given to the company's reputation for making customers feel welcome, valued and well served.
- ALL-IN-THE-FAMILY AWARD: Honors a successful family-owned business that demonstrates a strong commitment to its customers, employees and community. Consideration may be given to family involvement, longevity, business success, adaptability and the business's impact on St. Tammany Parish.
- OUT-OF-THE-GATE RUNNING AWARD: Honors a business that has been successfully operating for less than three years and has made a positive contribution to St. Tammany Parish. Consideration may be given to early accomplishments, growth, innovation, customer service, community involvement and potential for continued success.
- GOLDEN SPOON AWARD: Honors a member restaurant or caterer that excels in customer service, top-notch food service and goes above and beyond for its patrons. Consideration may be given to the overall dining experience, quality and consistency of food, hospitality and service. One winner may be selected from each St. Tammany community.
