The event is scheduled to take place on Thursday, November 7th, from 5:30 to 8:30 pm at the picturesque Gardens at Applecross.

 

The Annual Awards Dinner is the premier awards ceremony of the year, celebrating the remarkable accomplishments of our members over the past year. This longstanding Chamber tradition will feature a sit-down dinner and will honor two distinguished members of our community: the Corporate Citizen of the Year and the Executive of the Year. The Chamber will announce the winners of these prestigious awards in August.

 

Jose Garces, a celebrated figure in the culinary world and an esteemed entrepreneur, will deliver the keynote address. Known for his innovative approach to cuisine and his successful portfolio of restaurants, Garces brings a wealth of experience and inspiration. His journey from a rising star chef to a prominent business leader will undoubtedly provide valuable insights and motivation to all attendees.

 

"We are incredibly excited to have Jose Garces join us for this special evening," said Laura Manion, President of the Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry. "His story of dedication, creativity, and success resonates deeply with our mission and values. We look forward to his inspiring words as we honor the achievements of our outstanding members."

 

The Gardens at Applecross provides a beautiful and elegant setting for this celebration, ensuring an unforgettable evening for all attendees. The event promises to be a night of recognition, networking, and celebration, bringing together business leaders and community members to honor excellence and foster connections.
