Celebration of North Carolina
Join us for a festive dinner as we celebrate North Carolina’s remarkable past and continue to build its legacy for future generations!
The most influential leaders from across the state gather at this exclusive event to recognize the individual and collective successes of our vibrant business community. Elevated to a formal and invitation-only format this year, the special evening will include a seated dinner and a program featuring our award recipients.
Each year, the NC Chamber recognizes individuals with an outstanding sense of public responsibility who have made an indelible mark on our state by improving their communities and honors them with the Distinguished Citizenship Award and Distinguished Public Service Award. Read more about our recipients here.
We will also honor winners of the Coolest Thing Made in NC, a contest hosted by the NC Chamber each fall to shine a light on our state’s manufacturing industry.
