2026 Business Appreciation Awards and Scholarship Luncheon
Join estba for our annual Business Appreciation Awards & Scholarship Luncheon on Thursday, September 17, from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM at The Sadie Jane.
This special luncheon celebrates the businesses, organizations, and individuals who make a lasting impact on our community. 2026 Award Categories are as follows: Legacy Award, Excellent Customer Service Award, Significant Community Service Award, Best New Business Award, Best Commitment to Spending Local Award, Best Curb Appeal Award, Most Innovative Business Award, Best Breakfast Venue, Best Lunch Venue, Best Dinner Venue, and Best Non-Profit Award (new award for 2026). In addition to recognizing the 11 recipients of the awards above, who are nominated by members and the general public through an emailed survey, the Board of Directors also chooses a Member of the Year for their participation and commitment to our mission.
A new highlight of the event will be the presentation of seven $1,000 scholarships to outstanding graduating seniors from high schools in East St. Tammany. These scholarships are made possible through the generosity of our business partners, who are investing in the future of our community!
