The Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the outstanding winners of the 23rd Annual Business Excellence Awards, recognizing the remarkable achievements and contributions of businesses and entrepreneurs in our community. This year’s awards event was a departure from the traditional galas of the past, being held on February 23rd at local manufacturer V.I.P. Soap Products’ new warehouse. The event featured a live performance by local musician, Miss Shauna Singer, and the talents of Mission’s own Triumph Acrobatics, as they soared overhead with an almost 30 ft high aerial silks display. Other features like a sparkling wine fountain and mashed potato bar made the evening a fun and unique night out for businesses and local dignitaries. 
 
The event was made possible by the generous support of community partners, whose commitment to fostering economic growth and prosperity in Mission is invaluable. The Chamber extends its heartfelt gratitude to all sponsors and attendees for their unwavering support.
