The Lakeville Area Chamber of Commerce is now accepting nominations for the 2012 Business person of the Year award.

The deadline for nominations is Dec. 14.

The award will be presented at the 64th Annual Meeting & Holiday Dinner on Monday, Jan. 28, 2013, at Crystal Lake Golf Club.

An important part of that celebration is recognizing a business person or persons who have done an outstanding job in developing their company, made an impact in the community, and have given back to the Chamber.

The Chamber seeks nomination of an individual chamber member whose contributions improved the business climate and made the community a better place to live and work.
