Each year, the Sherwood Chamber of Commerce takes pride in recognizing individuals, businesses and organizations in our community who truly represent what is best about our community. The Chamber’s Annual Awards Banquet serves as an opportunity for us to identify those who have gone above and beyond in helping to ensure that Sherwood continues to be the premier community in our region in which to live and work.

We appreciate your help in bringing to our attention local businesses and citizens who deserve consideration for one of these awards.
