We have all had the opportunity to be associated with individuals from the McAllen area who have distinguished themselves for their outstanding volunteer service to our community, and sometimes these members of our community do not receive the recognition they deserve.  Every year, the McAllen Chamber of Commerce Man & Woman of the Year Selection Committee selects two outstanding volunteers to receive the honor of McAllen’s Man & Woman of the Year.

Our community is currently going through a time where we must do things differently.  But we do not want the people who have continued to make McAllen their priority and have made sacrifices to ensure our community stays safe and our economy survives to go unnoticed, especially now.  We ask that you please take a moment to nominate commendable people to receive this recognition.  The McAllen Chamber of Commerce would genuinely enjoy letting our community know about these extraordinary people.  If you know individuals you feel need to be recognized for their acts of exceptional kindness and tireless energy, or someone who has organized a program for the betterment of our community, given their time and talent to teach, lent a helping hand to those in need, or just made the special effort to ensure that “good things happen” for others, please nominate them.

For more information or a nominee application, please call Gerry Garcia at the McAllen Chamber at 682-2871 or ggarcia@mcallenchamber.com. Applications can also be obtained and submitted at 1200 Ash Ave. or you may also visit mcallenchamber.com for more information.  The deadline for submission is Wednesday, September 30, 2020.
