Mississippi Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce
The Mississippi Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Hancock Chamber of Commerce, Ocean Springs Chamber of Commerce, and Jackson County Chamber of Commerce announced recipients of the 2022 One Coast Awards on Tuesday, April 26 at the Beau Rivage during the annual One Coast Awards breakfast attended by over 400 participants.
The One Coast Awards were started in 2002 by the Sun Herald and were named in honor of the long-time publisher Roland Weeks as the Roland Weeks Hall of Fame, the Top
10 Under 40 and Community Leader Awards. Recognizing the wealth of outstanding business and community leaders across the Mississippi Gulf Coast,
the awards were developed to recognize community leaders and strong, up-and-coming young business leaders.
The program and awards
have been continued with the coastal Chambers of Commerce organizing and administering the program to carry on the ideal that One Coast is a regional belief that our common interests far outweigh any difference; an awareness that what benefits one, ultimately benefits all;
a celebration of our unique communities and an attitude of no boundaries.
