Congratulations to Harold Kaiser for Receiving the First Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the Carmel Chamber of Commerce!!!

The Chamber’s newest award, the Harold Kaiser Award for Lifetime Achievement, was presented for the first time to recognize an individual who has made a lifetime commitment to business in the Carmel community. This year, the Chamber honored Harold Kaiser, the award’s ...
namesake and one of the founders of the Carmel Chamber, for his devotion and enthusiasm for business, volunteer work, the city and the Chamber.

Harold’s efforts to start a chamber of commerce in Carmel in 1960, when the city’s population was just over 1,400, was put on hold when a small group of business people trying to launch the organization decided there weren’t enough businesses to support a chamber. Ten years later, when the population reached more than 6,500, the group successfully started the Carmel Chamber and Harold’s 41-year commitment to the Chamber began.

Among his many involvements in the business community are establishing Kaiser Real Estate in 1958 and serving as the first chair of the Hamilton County Realtors Association, a group he also helped to start. Harold is also committed to giving back to the Carmel community and began volunteering for St. Vincent Carmel Hospital when it opened, continuing that commitment until retiring in 2010.
