To recognize excellence in our business community, each year the Rio Vista Chamber of Commerce bestows awards as detailed here. Nominations come from our members, and awardees receive a special commemorative and publicity. Winners must be Chamber members, or in the case of volunteers, affiliated with a non-profit Chamber member.
