This spring, the Greater Williamsburg Chamber of Commerce has been busy hosting a variety of events for the local business community, from the Women’s Business Council Tables of 8 lunch and community ribbon cuttings to the Post-Session Legislative Forum and Business After Hours at the Jamestown Settlement.
Most notably, Chamber members enjoyed the return of the Annual Gala, celebrating An Evening in Old Hollywood at the William & Mary Alumni House.
Fit with a walk down the red carpet, a welcome reception with cocktails and live music, dinner, and dancing, the Gala was certainly a night to remember. Check out the red carpet photos on the Chamber’s Facebook page!
The ASPIRE Young Professionals also hosted their first professional development Symposium at the Raymond A. Mason School of Business, which featured a light breakfast, keynote presentation, two professional development sessions, networking, a panel discussion, and lunch. The engaging line-up of speakers and session topics were curated to help local young professionals grow in their careers and form valuable connections.
Up next, the Chamber invites its members and the local business community to a Business After Hours on Thursday, April 20th at Ford’s Colony Country Club. Join us from 5 to 7 PM for networking, hors d’oeuvres, two drink tickets, entry to win door prizes, a 50/50 cash raffle, and more!
