Each November, the Littleton Area Chamber holds its annual Economic Development Summit where we honor the Business Leader of the Year. The luncheon is held on the Monday before Thanksgiving each year. This gathering is designed to bring together local leaders, business professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders to gain information on economic growth and community development projects.

The luncheon includes expert presentations, discussions on regional challenges and opportunities, and networking opportunities. It provides insight into local economic trends and collaborative efforts that promote job creation, attract investment, and enhance the region’s overall business climate.

Business Leader of the Year Award

Each year at the Economic Development Summit, we recognize a standout individual with the Business Leader of the Year Award. We invite you to nominate someone who has made a significant and lasting impact on our community through their leadership.

Nominees should demonstrate exceptional leadership and contribute to creating a prosperous environment that promotes economic growth and quality of life. Nominees do not need to be associated with a Chamber member business but should work within the Littleton area.
