Introduced at the 2023 Minot Area Chamber EDC Annual Meeting, the Impact Awards featured an opportunity to showcase our community’s organizations, businesses, and individuals who influence and impact the Minot area in a positive way. The annual celebration is back, and we can’t wait to hear who you feel should take home our 2025 awards. From small businesses making big moves to individual leaders with boundless vision; from longstanding businesses and organizations with decades of influence to true friends of our armed forces — we want to know who you think deserves to be celebrated.
