Colquitt County residents have the opportunity to nominate worthy citizens for the Moultrie-Colquitt County Chamber of Commerce Man, Woman, and Agribusiness Person of the Year Awards for 2018. The winners will be announced at the Chamber’s Annual Banquet on Jan. 29, 2019.

Area clubs, organizations, churches, businesses, or schools may nominate individuals for these awards. Informational packets regarding the nominee should include outstanding achievements, community service projects, professional activities, and photos. Letters of recommendation and newspaper articles are encouraged.

Nomination packets will be considered for two (2) consecutive years.

“Our nomination review committees suggested we allow nominations to be considered for two consecutive years,” stated Chamber President Tommie Beth Willis. “Nomination packets can be updated if desired for the second year by the same deadline. We know it takes time to put together a complete packet for a nomination. We have many worthy candidates, and I want to encourage our community to begin working on the process now for nominees.”  

Nomination forms are available from the Chamber of Commerce office located at 116 First Ave. S.E. or call (229) 985-2131.
