Many factors are considered when selecting Member of the Year. Some of our members volunteer their time as it helps promote their business, others step up and become engaged with becoming member of a committee, while others increase their involvement by taking an active leadership role.  Financial contributions are not overlooked though they are definitely not the only consideration.  We appreciate all of the roles each member fills in this one big association puzzle.

The Steve Friedman Ambassador of the Year Award is based on points and the demonstration of leadership, attitude, and volunteerism.  Members of the Ambassadors, the Board of Directors and Chamber staff all take part in selecting the Ambassador volunteer they feel has done an outstanding job.

The Pearland Chamber of Commerce began recognizing outstanding leadership and service with a Citizen of the Year Award in 1978.  A nominee must be known for outstanding contributions toward the benefit of others.  The nominee should be someone who has exceeded the call of his or her every day job in service to the community.  The individual does not have to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce to be nominated or to receive this award.

The outgoing Chair of the Chamber has the honor of giving an award to someone who assisted them through their year of leadership.  The award is someone who helped them be a better leader.
