The 62nd Annual Awards Celebration was held on October 27th, 2022, atop a beautiful venue, Heritage Hill. Every year the Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber of Commerce honors businesses and individuals in our community who go above and beyond in making a difference in our region. This year’s theme was Plant Positivity, Grow Greatness; allowing everyone the opportunity to reflect on the positive contributions the nominees in each category contributed to our great community. The views at the event were breathtaking and with local fare provided by small businesses a fantastic time was had by all.

Nominees were asked to fill out a business or personal profile that asked about their involvement in our community. These applications were judged by unbiased Southern California Chamber Executives who then determined the winning business or individual.
