Supporting announcements are coming soon as the Emporia Area Chamber of Commerce prepares for its Annual Meeting.
The event is Jan. 20 at Emporia State’s Memorial Union Webb Hall. On KVOE’s Talk of Emporia on Wednesday, Chamber President and CEO Jeanine McKenna says it’s a relief to be back on schedule after two years of COVID-19.
Award announcements are coming the next two weeks, including Lifetime Achievement, Community Impact, Business of the Year and Volunteer of the Year. McKenna says the event is already about 70 percent full.
The 2021 event was held virtually due to COVID. Last year’s event was shifted from January to May.
Residents and business owners interested in the Chamber’s Annual Meeting can call the Chamber at 620-342-1600 or go online to emporiakschamber.org.
