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.
