DRIVE Annual Awards

DRIVE Annual Awards

Each year we are excited to celebrate all the local businesses in our community that are making a difference. We hold a yearly event in September which serves as our annual Member meeting and dinner as well as handing out awards to businesses in the area. 

The awards we hand out are broken down into two main categories: 1) DRIVE Annual Awards and 2) DRIVE Certificate Winners. 

DRIVE Annual Awards encompass 10 different categories and are nominated by community members and ultimately voted for by a committee. These categories include: Business of the Year Award, Volunteer of the Year Award, Municipal Employee of the Year Award, President’s Award, Driven Woman Award, Rising Star Award, Outstanding Achievement Award, Nonprofit of the Year Award, 3 Towns 1 Community Award and the Joel Stevens Community Spirit Award.

DRIVE Certificate Winners encompass 51 different categories and are determined by community members.

The following sections include the 2025 event information as well as our previous year’s winners.
