What is it?
The Annual Awards Luncheon, is a time to celebrate our members and their contributions to the Chamber and the business community in conjunction with our annual Business Expo. We honor volunteers that have made outstanding contributions to the Chamber and the incoming Board of Directors is introduced to the membership. The gatherings are always upbeat with plenty of spark and humor. Join us for this chance to celebrate community and involvement.
