An evening of appreciation and recognition.

As a not-for-profit organization, a large part of our success is attributed to those willing to put their time and energy into the community we serve. We're able to do the work that we do because of the support from a dedicated group of volunteers: our Board of Directors, committee members, and Chamber ambassadors. We appreciate what they bring to the Chamber, and each year we make a point of taking the time to thank them for helping make this a vibrant business community.

2024 Presidents Dinner Photo Gallery

On Thurs Apr 25 we gathered at the Coast Capri for the 2024 Presidents Dinner to celebrate and recognize the outstanding efforts of this volunteer cohort. We were joined by Chamber presidents past and present, former and current Board members, and our volunteer brand ambassadors.
