Annual Banquet
The Norfolk Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Banquet is a premier celebration each year!
We had to push the date back but we still can’t wait to celebrate with you! This is a night to thank members for their patronage, give out prestigious awards, and celebrate the business community. As tradition goes, there is a new theme each year and table sponsors square off for the best decorated table award. This year’s theme is 2020: Vision of a Future. 2020 marks the 51st consecutive Annual Banquet.
