• 2024 DBA Business & Community Service Award Nominations

    The Desert Business Association (DBA), the Desert's LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce, gives awards each year in four categories to businesses, community service organizations, and individuals to recognize their work in our communities. The award descriptions and criteria are below. Please respond to this survey if you have nominees for one or more categories. You do not have to nominate in all categories. Nominations close on Thursday, February 29, 2024.

    Please provide the nominee's name, and clearly and completely describe why you believe they deserve this award. Include specific examples, achievements, and contributions that highlight their positive and significant impact on the LGBTQ+ community and the local business environment, and how the person, business, or organization has demonstrated excellence, leadership, and a commitment to fostering a more inclusive and supportive community.

    All nominations will be considered, and each person, organization and business needs only be nominated once. You can see more
