Already declared last year as the Nicest Place in America 2020 by Reader’s Digest, the Redbud community of Buchanan has launched the annual campaign to find outstanding businesses, leaders, community members and organizations that keep the wheels of commerce in motion there.
Each year, the Buchanan Area Chamber of Commerce recognizes those who bring outstanding recognition to the Buchanan area through their daily work and efforts.
Nominations are currently being accepted for the following awards:

- Young Professionals — This award will be presented to a Buchanan area young professional between the ages of 21 and 40. This individual has a positive attitude, has shown professionalism, innovation, and is devoted to their career and community, especially in 2020.
The nomination form can be found on the Chamber’s website at the link below, and all nominations must be received by Wednesday, March 31, 2021. Awards will be delivered to the winners at the Annual Meeting with a date yet to be determined.
Note: Because the annual meeting did not take place last year due to the pandemic, 2020 awards will be presented at this year’s Annual Meeting as well.
