Since we limit recognition to 3-5 honorees at each breakfast to ensure meaningful focus on each recipient, we may hold your nomination for a future breakfast event when the timing and program balance work better. Alternatively, we may reach out to suggest that your nominee would be an excellent fit for another Chamber recognition program that might be more appropriate for the specific achievement, such as our ribbon cutting ceremonies, member spotlights, or other promotional channels. Our goal is to celebrate all our members\u2019 successes through the most fitting recognition opportunity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-mnywgxui-59c01b0efbf84b81526c44f797a3c934'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-12' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-12' class='toggler  av-title-above'  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-12' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"How often are recognitions presented?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: How often are recognitions presented?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: How often are recognitions presented?\">How often are recognitions presented?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-12' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-12' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>We target 3-5 recognitions at select breakfast events throughout the year, maintaining geographic and category diversity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-mnywlmnw-321ec749dbf06e588d02f91d69bea303'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-13' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-13' class='toggler  av-title-above'  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-13' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Do nominees have to be Chamber members?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Do nominees have to be Chamber members?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Do nominees have to be Chamber members?\">Do nominees have to be Chamber members?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-13' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-13' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Yes, this program exclusively recognizes current Chamber members and their achievements.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-mnywlzd0-7182cbf385b89396d9155228a8d5c750'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-14' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-14' class='toggler  av-title-above'  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-14' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"What makes a strong nomination?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: What makes a strong nomination?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: What makes a strong nomination?\">What makes a strong nomination?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-14' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-14' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Focus on achievements with clear regional impact, specific details about the contribution or milestone, and how it enhances North Central Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_6'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-23977'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-23977","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Good Morning North Central Recognition &#187; North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"More Than a Membership.
