Celebration of Diversity Awards
About
In 1999, the San Angelo Chamber of Commerce held its first annual luncheon to celebrate and recognize businesses and individuals exemplifying diversity in our community. The latest criteria focus on the achievements and successes of the business owners, discovering how their diversity positively impacts and strengthens the greater San Angelo community.

- Nominees may be self-nominated or nominated by a San Angelo resident.
Award Categories
- Business Success Award – A minority or women-owned business exemplifying quality service, growth, integrity, and professionalism in dealings with the public or employees.
- Legacy Award – A minority-owned, multi-generational business in continuous operation for ten years or more that exemplifies service to and investment in the minority community.
