Natchitoches, LA, November 12, 2024: The Natchitoches Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the official rebranding of the Annual Best of Natchitoches Awards to the Go Natchitoches Awards: A Showcase in Excellence. While the purpose of the event remains the same - to showcase businesses and organizations who go above and beyond to make Natchitoches a great place to live, work and play - the Go Natchitoches branding will bring a new energy to the annual awards. This rebranding is part of the Chamber's larger vision to energize and uplift our community, reflecting the vibrant, forward-thinking Go Natchitoches mindset that drives innovation and community collaboration across the Natchitoches community. 

Nominations are currently live for all category awards at bit.ly/Go_Natchitoches_Nominations. Anyone may nominate any Chamber member business for a category award. Awards are given on an annual basis and are based on the previous 12-month achievements. To better integrate the Go Natchitoches mindset, the Chamber has added an additional award: the Go Natchitoches Award. This special recognition will honor an individual, business or group who consistently embodies the energy, innovation and collaborative spirit that makes Natchitoches thrive. 

The luncheon will take place on Wednesday, February 26th from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Natchitoches Events Center. Chamber members and the Natchitoches community at large are encouraged to mark your calendars for the event and submit your nominations today.
