Nick Bruner was a recipient of a Silver Shovel Award for 2020-2021. The Greater Hall Chamber presented the awards at the Board of Directors Meeting on June 24. Silver Shovel Awards are given to Chamber volunteers who have worked hard for the Chamber and for business in Gainesville-Hall County.

Bruner has served on the Chamber Board and has assisted the Chamber this year by providing valuable insight to help small businesses best utilize the resources offered by the Small Business Administration during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Congratulations to Nick and all of the other award winners this year!
