Awards will be presented to honor those going the extra mile for the Chamber and the community followed by a speech by State Senator Tom Berryhill.
Outgoing Chairman Ken May, while reflecting on the achievements of 2013, commented, “I am proud to have been a part of the great accomplishments this year from an increase in membership to our new logo and website and continuing success in our premier events.”
He will be passing the gavel to incoming Chairman Shelley D’Arcy who is looking forward to continuing the momentum from 2013. “We are planning to further expand our membership base by providing networking and educational value to help our members grow their businesses. Co-sponsoring the Leadercast event in May and graduating our first Young Entrepreneurs Academy class in June and starting a new class in October will continue the expansion of the Clovis Chamber brand.”
After the new Board of Directors is sworn in, we will be honoring the Ambassador and Director of the Year followed by the small business awards.
