CHQ Chamber has opened nominations for its 2026 Pam Lydic Coalition Builder Award. The annual award, established in 2012, recognizes an individual or organization who is making a difference in the region by bringing people together, building partnerships, and working toward a common goal. The award honors the legacy of Pam Lydic, the Chamber's first Executive Director, who played an instrumental role in bringing together the Northern Chautauqua Chamber of Commerce and the Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce to form the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce in 2000. Nominations are due by Saturday, October 31st and can be submitted at the Chamber's website. The awardee will be honored at the Chamber's Annual Meeting on Friday, December 11th at the Chautauqua Harbor Hotel in Celoron. Last year's recipient was Aimee Rogers of Forestville.
