Chamber Now Accepting Small Business Person Nominations

The Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce is now accepting nominations for the 2025 Small Businessperson of the Year sponsored by Dedicated Community Bank.

Last year’s recipient was Florence businessman and developer Chris Scott.

Nomination criteria include the person must be a member of the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce associated with a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or professional practice in the Greater Florence area with less than 50 employees. (Elected officials, employees of government and not-for-profit organizations are ineligible unless they are also involved in a for- profit business).
