MicrosoftTeams-image (26)

This much-anticipated event celebrates our Chamber Investors, volunteers, and community members. Please join us as we recognize key contributions to business and our community during our annual award presentation and learn about what the Chamber has prepared for your business in 2023.

The Menomonie Area Chamber & Visitor Center is proud to honor those who contribute to the success of our community as well as area businesses that personify the spirit of entrepreneurship, pride and success that forms the backbone of our local economy.

This event is "entertainment style" with heavy hors d'oeuvres, a cash bar, raffles, and a one-hour award program. An afterparty will take place following the program, to provide enhanced connection opportunities and continued celebrations.

The program will include highlights from 2022, outlooks from our Investor businesses and a look ahead at the upcoming year with the Chamber.  Join us in celebrating incredible businesses, area nonprofits, and outstanding individuals in our community!
