The Brentwood Chamber of Commerce has annually honored an individual for his or her contribution in making Brentwood a better place to live and work.

If you know someone who should be honored, please fill out the enclosed nomination form and return it to us no later than by, March 10th, 2021. This year’s winner will be publicized and invited to the Chamber’s Annual Awards Dinner where he or she will be publicly recognized and honored for contributions to our community. The recipient will also have opportunities to be recognized at events throughout the year. We ask that you submit your nominations as soon as possible. Keep in mind that, in order for the nominee to be eligible, the nominees’ contributions must be primarily from their personal involvement not from their employment or political involvement. Also, people who have been Citizen of the Year in the past are not eligible. If you have any additional questions, please contact the Chamber of Commerce office at (925) 634-3344.
