Celebrating Santa Fe’s Best in Business: 2025 Business Achievement Award Winners Announced

On June 5, 2025, more than 500 guests gathered at the historic Scottish Rite Temple to celebrate the businesses, organizations, and individuals shaping Santa Fe’s economic and community landscape. Hosted by the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce and presented by Century Bank, the 2025 Business Achievement Awards honored excellence across a range of sectors—and brought the community together for an unforgettable evening.

With the theme “The Greatest Show in Business,” this year’s event took on a festive, vintage circus flair. Guests kicked off the evening in the ballroom, where they were welcomed by vibrant décor from Ana Luisa Event Rentals, circus entertainment by Wise Fool New Mexico (featuring a stilt walker and juggler), a bar provided by Boxcar, and a delicious selection of appetizers from the Chamber’s generous Food Artist Sponsors.

Following the reception, attendees moved into the theater for the official awards program. Emceed by Paul Thompson of Santa Fe Valet, the ceremony began with remarks highlighting the Chamber’s mission to strengthen the local economy and advocate for businesses in community affairs. Chamber leadership reflected on a year of impactful policy work, growing partnerships, and renewed focus on supporting the people and organizations that make Santa Fe thrive.
​
With over 90 nominations submitted, the competition reflected the incredible diversity, innovation, and heart of our local business community. These nominees are more than business owners—they’re leaders, mentors, and change-makers who inspire progress and connection across our city.
