Annual Community Awards Luncheon

Celebrating the Lander Business Community

Each winter, the Lander Chamber of Commerce hosts our Community Awards Luncheon. A celebration of the Lander business community and the individuals within it, the luncheon is an annual opportunity to come together in one place to recognize in a public way the efforts of the men and women who put so much time and effort into building their businesses, creating jobs for Fremont County’s residents, supporting the community, and in general making Lander a great place to live, work, and play.

The 2025 Community Awards Luncheon will take place Friday, February 14 at the Lander Community & Convention Center. To submit your nominations for the award categories listed below, click on the button. Note that nominees need not be members of the Lander Chamber of Commerce. The deadline to submit nominations is Friday, January 31.

Submit your nominations!

Additional tickets for members are available at $30 each and table sponsorships are $1,000. Guests tickets are $40 and table sponsorships can be purchased for $1,250. THIS EVENT SOLD OUT LAST YEAR.
