Annual Membership Meeting & Awards Celebration Under the Big Top
Last month, we gathered Under the Big Top at the Made in Tennessee Building for a spectacular circus-inspired celebration of our Chamber members, presented by Shannon Speck Electric, LLC. This special evening honored our outstanding award recipients, marked the installation of our 2025 Board of Directors, and recognized our retiring Board Members for their dedicated service.
This unforgettable evening would not have been possible without the generosity and support of our incredible sponsors. Their commitment to our Chamber and community helped bring this celebration to life, from the dazzling atmosphere to the outstanding experience for our guests. We are grateful for their partnership and dedication, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to each of them for making this event a success.
