The COVID-19 pandemic has changed every facet of life as we know it. In the months since the COVID-19 outbreak, communities everywhere have seen extraordinary medical professionals, teachers, local businesses, volunteers, community leaders, essential workers, and everyday people working tirelessly to make a difference. While this pandemic has brought about new challenges and stressors for us all, there has also been a surge in people simply looking out for each other, whether friends, family, neighbors or strangers.
The Wilmington-Clinton County Chamber of Commerce, along with the Chamber’s 2020 Premium Sponsor – the Clinton County Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB), want to highlight the stories of the Clinton County citizens, employers and employees, and organizations who are making an impact in our community with the new “Clinton County Community Champions” (C4) Awards!

We’ll be announcing more details of the awards/nomination process as the promotion approaches! In the meantime, start brainstorming your nominees and contact the Chamber at info@wccchamber.com or 937-728-7075 with any questions!
