The Madison County Chamber of Commerce is proud to congratulate our Chamber members recognized in the 2026 Athens Community’s Choice Awards!

The annual awards program gives community members throughout the Athens area the opportunity to nominate and vote for their favorite local businesses and organizations across more than 130 categories. From restaurants and retailers to professional services, community organizations, and more, the awards shine a spotlight on the people and businesses that help make the region special.
