The Arcadia-Bienville Parish Chamber of Commerce is now accepting community nominations for its 2026 Chamber Banquet Awards, and wants to hear from the community.
Each year, the Chamber of Commerce honors people who are helping the parish grow, serve, and thrive.
Accepting nominations for:
- Man of the Year
- Woman of the Year
- Heritage Award
The Heritage Award honors a retired individual who has made a lasting impact on Bienville Parish through leadership, service, and community influence. Heritage nominations must include a nomination letter describing their legacy and impact.
The Man of the Year and Woman of the Year awards recognize individuals who are actively making a difference through business, leadership, volunteer work, or community involvement. Submissions should contain a description of why the nominator believes the individuals deserve to be nominated.
To nominate individuals, send the Chamber of Commerce the nominee name and their location and the nominator’s written description or nomination letter. Submissions can be made via email to acardiabienvillecchamber@gmail.com; by mail (address below); or by drop-off (address below). This information can also be sent directly to the Chamber’s Facebook page.
The deadline to submit nominations is Thursday, March 12. Help the Chamber recognize the people who are planting seeds today so the parish can thrive tomorrow.
