Lauren Merriam explanation . . .
The Lauren Merriam Memorial Award is presented annually by the Bay County Chamber of Commerce to a member of the
Bay County business community who best exemplifies the characteristics embodied by Lauren Merriam, a Past President of
the Chamber in 1959 and the original Chairman of the Chamber’s First Friday Club.
Chief among those characteristics are commitment to the community’s well being, as exemplified by involvement in civic,
charitable and/or endeavors contributing to the betterment of Bay County and the benefit of its citizens -- and the ability not
to take oneself, or one’s peers, too seriously. Lauren did a lot for our community and in the process he enjoyed himself.
