BOISE, ID – The Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce announced its 2019 Small Business of the Year & Chamber Excellence Award winners during its annual awards luncheon last week. The Chamber has a long-standing tradition of recognizing its members’ excellence and celebrating the importance of small businesses to our community and our local economy.

The Chamber also honored Candi Allphin, former senior vice president at U.S. Bank and former Chair of the Boise Metro Chamber Board of Directors with the Chamber’s Hall of Fame Award. Previous Hall of Fame winners include Dr. Robert Kustra in 2017, Dennis Johnson in 2016, and Skip Oppenheimer in 2015.
