BOISE, ID – The Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce today announced its 2021 Small Business of the Year & Chamber Excellence Awards finalists. The Chamber will name the award winners and celebrate the importance of small businesses to our community during its annual Small Business of the Year & Chamber Excellence Awards luncheon on Wednesday, May 6 from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. at the Boise Centre.
