Ambassadors' Award
Courtney Sikes - REALTOR® Keller Williams Realty LRGV
Courtney has accomplished all of the items outlined in the description for the Ambassador Award; not only over this past year but for several years now! She is a strong supporter of the chamber. She is constantly suggesting businesses join the Chamber, which we LOVE! It started with a moving company, a realtor, another realtor, and another realtor! Not only do we love her for believing in the work of the Chamber, she is a beacon of light everywhere she goes!
Outstanding New Business Member Award
Our Chamber believes it is important to recognize new members who fully utilize the benefits of their Chamber membership and who are committed to creating a strong and positive community presence.
Family Wellness Clinic at SPI is new to the Island and brings a much needed service to our visitors and residents. It truly was a dream come true when they opened their doors. Even before they opened they joined the Chamber and immediately started utilizing the many benefits they receive, and have continued to attend training classes, utilize the newsletter and much more. So … got a weird pain in your side, slice your thumb open, need a checkup, flu shot, x-rays – you name it Family Wellness Clinic can do it!
Kukui Award
Katy Moreau - Rescue ME Resale
Katy is a true powerhouse of positivity and dedication. She not only serves on the Islanders Committee but is the first to step up and help recruit volunteers for Chamber events. She brings fresh ideas, boundless energy, and never says “no” to a challenge. Her philosophy is simple yet powerful — volunteering starts with connection. She has a special gift for helping others see how giving their time can also bring them joy, friendships, and opportunities. Katy is a tireless advocate for the Chamber and a bright light in our community.
Community Partner Award
Porky's Pit
The Community Partner Award is a very special recognition awarded to a Chamber member business, which by their actions, make significant contributions to support the mission of our Chamber, our program of work and our community.
Scott "Bull" Bovee is seen frequently on roller skates, driving around town with a pig in the front seat, or making special deliveries of FOOD to the Chamber office – which was always GOOD! Bull and Penny have provided many meals to organizations in the community, participated as a sponsor and caterer for the Ladies Kingfish Tournament for 2 years with RAVE reviews. Their delicious BBQ is surely missed, but they had a good run.
