2026 Annual Dinner & Awards Gala

Description

Betting on the Future: Our 50th Anniversary Awards Gala & Monte Carlo Night! 

Get ready to trade the standard boardroom for the ballroom during our Annual Dinner! To celebrate half a century of community impact, we are elevating our traditional Annual Meeting into a spectacular evening of prestige and play. 

This year, we are proud to unveil the revamped Annual Dinner & Awards Gala, immediately followed by an electrifying Monte Carlo Night. It’s a milestone celebration designed to honor the legacy of our businesses while launching a new tradition of excellence. 

A Night of High Stakes and High Honors

We aren’t just looking back at the last 50 years; we’re spotlighting the people and businesses driving us forward. Here is what’s on the table: 

•      The Awards Gala: Join us for a formal ceremony as we recognize the powerhouse businesses and inspiring citizens who make our region thrive. These awards will become a staple of our future, ensuring our leaders always get the recognition they deserve. 
•      Monte Carlo Casino: Experience the thrill of the casino floor! We’re bringing in some casino games. It’s all the fun and excitement of Vegas (poker, blackjack, and other fun games) played for "fun money" and bragging rights. 
•      Elite Networking: Rub elbows with the area’s top-tier professionals and community pillars in an upscale, high-energy environment. 
•      Professional Headshots: Elevate your brand while you're dressed to the nines. A professional photographer will be on-site offering complimentary high-end headshots. 
•      The Return of the Photo Booth: Back by popular demand! Grab some props and capture the fun with your colleagues in our fan-favorite photo booth. 
•      A Gourmet Feast: Savor a premier buffet dinner curated specifically to celebrate this golden 50th anniversary.
