The Chamber’s Annual Awards Ceremony is a wonderful evening of networking and celebration. The evening includes a wonderful dinner of delicious hors d’ oeuvres and drinks, plus it is a time to raise funds for the Chamber Education and Beautification funds through raffles and auctions.
A program follows with thanks to outgoing Directors and the announcement of the new Directors and officers of the Chamber Board. Then it is on to the awards when we honor businesses for Project Facelift and Grand Facelift Awards, the Rising Star Award, and Small and Large Business of the Year.
The Awards Ceremony provides an opportunity to reflect on what the Chamber accomplished in the past year and inform members of the Board’s plans for the coming year. Small and Large Business of the Year, Rising Star, Service and Project Facelift/Grand Facelift Awards are presented. Board members (current, incoming and retiring), Ambassadors, committee members, and new Chamber members are recognized.
