The Chamber says 'Chamber Appreciation Award' is presented yearly at the membership meeting to a partner individual or organization who has gone above and beyond to assure the chamber's success, mission and members.
Backus has served on the Chamber's Board of Directors for decades, is being honored for his long-standing contributions to the Chamber, dedication to the county's communities and leadership at Mort Backus & Sons, a family-owned business with community support at its core.
One nomination for Backus noted that even in his retirement, he 'still shows up to every meeting and event and is a bright and shining staple in the St. Lawrence County community…He is a great ambassador for the chamber and really cares about the community and small business.' Another nomination said Backus was always 'vocal about our members and supporting local businesses, making sure their best interests are being looked after.' Others expressed their appreciation for the thoughtful insights and questions he brings to his fellow Board members, along with recognition of the great things about St. Lawrence County.
The annual breakfast meeting, which begins at 8:30 a.m., will also include appointments to the Board of Directors and Officers, as well as updates from Chamber leadership on previous accomplishments and goals for the coming year.
