Description

Come and join us as we express gratitude to those who selflessly serve our country. This breakfast event provides the business community with a unique chance to demonstrate their support and foster connections with service members in eastern Connecticut. Your active involvement enables us to extend numerous complimentary invitations each year to our local service personnel as a heartfelt token of appreciation.

Recognizing Those Who Serve and Support

Join us as we honor the spirit of service and community with three special recognitions:

Patriotic Business Award

Awarded to one small and one large business that consistently go above and beyond in showing unwavering support for the men and women in uniform serving eastern CT. (formerly known as Military Community Support Award)

Help us shine a light on businesses that support those in uniform. Nominations for the Patriotic Business Award are due by August 25.

Submit a Patriotic Business Award Nomination

Service Person of the Year

SPOY honors an exceptional active duty, reserve, or National Guard service member who has demonstrated exemplary service to their military branch and made a meaningful impact within their local community. This award recognizes individuals who go above and beyond the call of duty, exemplifying the highest values of integrity, leadership, and selfless commitment. (Selected by the Chamber's Military Affairs Council)

Award winners will be announced in September and formally recognized during the event. We look forward to celebrating their outstanding contributions together.
