2022 San Benito County Chamber Awards Ceremony

The San Benito County Chamber of Commerce & Foundation are busy organizing our largest event of the year – our 101st Annual Awards Dinner, which will be held on Saturday, November 12, 2022 at Léal Vineyard’s newest venue, Olea presented by Teknova.

The purpose of the “Man of the Year” and “Woman of the Year” award is to recognize and honor residents living and serving San Benito County as a role model for continuous and outstanding volunteer service to our community. Nominees do not have to be Chamber members. The Review Committee considers only work done in a voluntary capacity, length of service, benefit to the community, and the spirit in which the work is done. The “Business of the Year” award recognizes and honors businesses in the County that have exhibited creativity, overcame obstacles, and provided excellent customer service.

It is with great pleasure that we are proud to recognize the following individuals and businesses as the honorees for this year’s Man, Woman, and Businesses of the Year.
