2025 Business Person of the Year Awards Celebration

July 30, 2025 3:30 PM - 6:30 PM (EDT)

Description

*In-Person Event*

Greater Rochester Chamber and its Small Business Council affiliate will present their Annual Business Person of the Year Awards.  This event has evolved into one of the premier networking and business recognition events in the Greater Rochester region. The Business Person of the Year award finalists and award winners will be recognized on Wednesday, July 30, 2025 at the Hyatt Regency Rochester. 

The program recognizes small business leaders who have demonstrated success in both civic and professional areas, specifically in the areas of growth, leadership, achievement, and community service. Candidates are nominated by their peers and an independent committee reviews applications and selects finalists in two categories based on employee size. 

One winner is chosen annually to receive the award in each category. The Business Person of the Year awards program celebrates the ultimate recipients in each of their categories.

We're thrilled to announce that Salvatore Fantauzzo, Founder, CEO and Franchisor of Salvatore’s Pizza, will be joining us as our Special Guest Speaker at the 2025 Business Person of the Year Award ceremony!

Salvatore brings decades of experience building one of Rochester’s most recognizable brands. Don’t miss this opportunity to be inspired, entertained, and connected. Click here to learn more about our special guest speaker!
