Exciting News!  Announcing the "Best of the Greater Merrimack-Souhegan Valley Region" Contest is now solely a Chamber event.

We are thrilled to introduce "The Best of the Greater Merrimack-Souhegan Valley Region" Contest—our very own celebration of the outstanding businesses and organizations that make our community thrive! Different than past years, this year we will run the contest on our own and we will be joined by presenting sponsor: Eversource, along with a few sponsors to be named soon.
 
Unlike other contests, we’re keeping it simple and inclusive:
✅ No pre-nominations required – Just straightforward, write-in voting!
✅ Open to all businesses in our membership and our region – Chamber members and local businesses alike.
✅ No cost to winners and finalists – Your recognition is our priority!
 
This is your chance to be recognized by the community and celebrate your success! Winners and finalists will be honored at a special awards dinner in September at Murphy’s Carriage House in Bedford—a fantastic evening to network, celebrate, and showcase the best our region has to offer.
As a Chamber-sponsored event, this contest is designed to spotlight and support the businesses that make our region strong. The only cost? Just the price of a ticket if you choose to attend the celebratory dinner.
Stay tuned for more details on how to vote and participate, a new logo and loads of great information. Voting information will be announced early to mid-summer.
Let’s make this an exciting opportunity for everyone!
 
The Greater Merrimack-Souhegan Valley Chamber of Commerce proudly serves it's members along with the following towns:
