Nominations for the Pella Chamber of Commerce’s Excellence Awards have been turned in. The Excellence Awards honor individuals and businesses that have had a positive impact on the community. A group of past chamber board members will pick from the nominations and the awards will be presented at the Chamber’s annual meeting in February. Chamber Director Karen Eischen says that its more than just a chance to learn about past and upcoming projects at the Chamber, but its also a chance to meet with other business leaders in the community.
