Annual Banquet
The Norfolk Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Banquet is a premier celebration each year!
We’d like to thank everyone who was able to attend the 51st consecutive Annual Banquet and a big shout out to all of our Fabulous Sponsors. Without all of you, we couldn’t have made this happen!
Even though this year looked a bit different – it was a fantastic evening. This is a night to thank members for their patronage, give out prestigious awards, and celebrate the business community. This year’s theme was 2020: Vision of a Future, and marks the 51st consecutive Annual Banquet.
The Norfolk Area Chamber of Commerce 52nd Annual Banquet will be held on April 22, 2021.
We hope to have the opportunity to share our excitement of the fantastic growth of our Community and the hope we have for the new year with all of you!
