W.P. Chamber honors those who ask, “why not us?”

At the annual banquet on Thursday, Jan 22., the Greater West Plains Area Chamber of Commerce honored members of the community who are, “making it happen here.” Members of the Chamber gathered in the Expo Hall at the Civic Center for the annual awards ceremony. From recognition that focused on the important work in recovering after the March 2025 tornado, to decades-long careers of quiet service, to those who used their influence across the state to improve West Plains, each honoree was described as leading in West Plains and making the community better for their presence.
