Bar Harbor Chamber Announces 2024 Award Winners

The Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce held their Annual Awards Dinner on Friday night, October 28th.

Congratulations to all the winners!

Cadillac Award Winner: - Dave Woodside from the Acadia Corporation

I was privileged to be awarded the Cadillac Award in 2023 and I congratulate Dave on his award and very worthy recognition.  The Cadillac Award is given to a person who epitomizes the virtues of leadership, service, sacrifice, and the quest for personal excellence. The individual who through work within an industry, an organization, or the community as a whole has demonstrated a rock-solid commitment and dedication to the highest standards of business practice, ethical conduct, and selfless public service.

President's Award - Melanie Graten. Mel was selected by President Bo Jennings and she certainly deserves this award. Melanie just recently resigned from the Chamber after 14 years of exceptional service to take a job closer to home with RSU 24.

Rising Star Award - Bar Harbor Lobster Pound. This award is given to a business that while still in their early years, has shown significant growth and progress in their business and community endeavors.

Neighbor Business of the Year - Scenic Flights of Acadia. This award is given to a business member located outside of Bar Harbor who has made meaningful contributions to the local business community and displays an overall commitment to its employees and customers.

Community Impact Award - Witham Family Hotels Charitable Fund. This award honors a business or individual who displays an extraordinary commitment to making our community a better place for its residents, businesses and guests.
