Nominations for the Danville Pittsylvania Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Awards are open. Awards include the Pace Award, the Pinnacle Award, and the Pinnacle Small Business Award.

The Young Professionals PACE [Professional and Community Engagement] Awards are designed to recognize and celebrate exceptional young professionals under the age of 40 who are either employed by or serve on the board of a member in good standing of the Danville Pittsylvania Chamber of Commerce. The annual awards highlight up to five emerging leaders who have made significant contributions to the region through professional achievement and community involvement.

The Chamber Board created the Pinnacle Award in 2011 to recognize a business or organization whose outstanding achievements serve as a model for success in businesses with 26 employees or more. In addition, a nominee is respected throughout the community for commitment to the Chamber’s values, which include excellence, integrity, individuality, collaboration, and innovation.

The Board also created the Pinnacle Small Business Award in 2019 to recognize excellence in businesses with fewer than 25 employees. The winner is distinguished as a small business or organization that contributes to the economic vitality and quality of life in the region through innovative, ethical business practices, professionalism, and strong community involvement.
