• Hall of Fame

  • Our Chamber is continuously seeking ways to celebrate our community, quality of life, and we have many people to thank for their contributions in getting Montgomery County, Blacksburg and Christiansburg to where we are today. In 2020, we determined there are leaders in our community that has changed our community's DNA. It is a lifetime achievement award. These leaders have improved housing opportunities, built business dynasties, created a framework for technology businesses, and positively influenced our communities' direction; they have made a difference that affects our quality of life and community. Please take a moment to recognize this new initiative and the 2020 recipients.
