Our Annual Dinner and Membership Meeting brings together professional and community leaders from all over the region to celebrate a successful year and share the chamber’s vision for the future. In addition to a cocktail reception, sit-down dinner and a large silent auction, we present the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award. This event is customarily the 5th Friday of the new year.
