The New Albany Chamber of Commerce recently honored businesses, individuals and a program with its Delta Awards for excellence and innovation in business practices and community involvement. The popular annual event recognizes organizations and individuals who have demonstrated outstanding achievements in our community. The 2021 Delta award winners include Outstanding Small Business, New Albany Ballet; Outstanding Medium Business, Feazel; and Outstanding Large Business, Facebook.

Delta award winners in other categories include Outstanding Business Leader, Kenny McDonald, CEO of the Columbus Partnership; Outstanding Citizen, Colleen Briscoe, former Mayor and City Councilwoman; and Outstanding Program, New Albany Bridges. The award underscores the chamber’s collective work in economic resilience, leadership creation and community strength. To be considered for a Delta Award, the organization or person must be setting the standard for excellence and innovation with their business practices, community involvement and collaboration. The local businesses and community leaders were recognized at the Chamber’s Annual Meeting in December.
