The Chamber's annual Business Excellence Awards (BEA) Dinner increases public awareness of the vital role business plays on the Central Coast and gives recognition to those businesses that have achieved excellence in their fields. 300-plus Peninsula business and community leaders attend to show their support for the local businesses that make up the backbone of our community. 2,000-plus votes are cast by Chamber members as well as the general public, and awards are presented to the top businesses in 16 categories.

Introducing a More Sustainable & Impactful Way to Showcase Your Business
We're excited to refresh one of our most festive traditions at the Business Excellence Awards! Historically known as the Design-A-Table Contest, this sponsorship has given members a fun and creative way to promote their business. However, in an effort to reduce waste and honor our commitment to protecting the Monterey Bay environment, we’re making a few thoughtful changes.
This year, instead of fully decorating an entire table, participating businesses will be invited to provide a branded centerpiece and 10 guest gifts that highlight your business, values, and services. This shift not only reduces setup time and waste but also puts the focus where it belongs — on the excellence of your brand and its impact!
We know many of our members are navigating tighter budgets and smaller teams. These updates are designed to make participation more accessible, meaningful, and environmentally conscious, while still keeping the spirit of celebration and creativity alive!
