Since 1991, the Annual Business Excellence Awards (BEA) program, which has become the premier business event of the year, recognizes the achievements of successful businesses and people in Windsor and Essex County and the contributions they make to the growth and prosperity of the economy.

In 1996, the Chamber was pleased to introduce the acclaimed ATHENA Award.

The slate of awards for 2012 has been updated includes Start Up of the Year (formerly New Business), Entrepreneur, Business Professional, Small Company (under 15 employees), Mid-Size Company (16-50 employees) and Large Company of the Year (51 employees).  This year we are also presenting three new awards including Taste of Windsor Essex Award, Go Green Award and the Rising Star of the Year Award for an individual under 30 years of age.

This annual business event, the Chamber’s largest, brings together business, government and industry leaders from all over the area to join in celebrating the Chamber’s and business community’s achievements. Every Business Excellence Awards event is an elaborate production. It has extraordinary exposure and prestige attached to it and has become a must attend, sell-out event.

The evening's program is an exciting and prestigious event that is possible through the many Chamber members who generously contribute to the success of this program through their sponsorship. This is a special evening when our local entrepreneurs are honoured by their peers, as is evident in the past where over 700 Chamber members and guests have gathered to pay tribute to the award recipients. Make sure you don't miss this opportunity to honour business excellence.
