Businessperson of the Year

2023 Annual Meeting & Awards Ceremony

Each spring, the Louisa County Chamber of Commerce awards the annual Businessperson of the Year for outstanding achievements and contributions to Louisa County.

This award recognizes those individuals who have demonstrated exceptional performance and/or leadership within our business community. While this award is typically bestowed upon a business owner or executive from one of our local businesses, this award can also be given to individuals or groups that have helped the business community prosper over the past year through their dedication, advocacy, volunteerism, or philanthropy. Ultimately, the Businessperson or Persons of the Year, as may be the case, are among the very best of our business community. They fuel the engine of our economic prosperity, which helps improve the quality of life for the people of our county.
