Community Applause Awards The Community Applause Awards, co-sponsored by the Oregon Bankers Association, Independent Community Banks of Oregon and OregonBusiness magazine since 1996, are an excellent way for Oregon banks to acknowledge the efforts of business customers that play a significant role in community activities.
A winner is selected annually in two size categories - less than 50 employees and 50 or more employees - and is awarded a commemorative plaque and a $1,000 donation to a non-profit community organization of their choice. Winners will be featured in the March edition of OregonBusiness magazine. In addition, each award winner is profiled in a short video highlighting their community service.
Congratulations 2011 Winners!
