Each fall, our Chamber has the privilege of gathering to recognize the incredible talent, dedication, and heart of our local business community. This year’s Outstanding Business Achievement Awards (OBAAs) were no exception.
From small family-run shops to large employers shaping the region, the businesses we celebrated truly reflect the spirit of living and working in Lincoln. The evening was filled with connection, laughter, and plenty of inspiration. It’s always incredible to see so many community members come together to recognize the hard work happening around us.
The OBAAs aren’t just about handing out awards—they’re about telling the stories of the people behind the businesses. Each finalist has a unique journey and their own way of making a difference. Together, they remind us that business isn’t just about numbers, it’s about people, ideas, and resilience.
Looking back at the photos, it’s clear how much pride and joy filled the room. Whether it was a first-time nominee or a returning finalist, each one deserved the applause they received. Evenings like this remind us why we’re proud to champion our local businesses.
As we look ahead to next year, we encourage you to keep the OBAAs in mind. Think about the businesses you admire, the ones that inspire you, and the ones making an impact, big or small. Nominations will open again in the new year, and we can’t wait to hear your stories.
To all our winners, finalists, sponsors, and attendees: thank you. You made this a night to remember.
