Business Excellence Awards


What are the Business Excellence Awards?


The Summit Chamber’s Business Excellence Awards (BEAs) shine a spotlight on the businesses and leaders helping Summit County thrive.

This high-energy annual event brings together 200+ local professionals for an evening of recognition, connection, and business-to-business networking, all centered around elevating our local business community.

Award recipients are selected through a blind judging process, with applications reviewed solely on the answers provided — not business names. Entries are evaluated by fellow business owners and community leaders, ensuring recognition is both fair and grounded in real-world experience.
