We’ve Taken Something Wonderful & Made It Even Better!
For over 95 years, your Chamber’s annual banquet has been a wonderful celebration of business accomplishments and community excellence, and a fun way to socialize with your peers. But, like five-star chambers do, we challenged ourselves to make it better. We asked our members for ideas. We listened. We got creative. And we think you’re going to love how we’ve made it better than ever before!
