Redwood Area Chamber & Tourism celebrated their 24th Annual Gala with a Virtual Chamber Gala Week in response to current event guidelines. The Chamber Gala is the organization’s largest fundraiser of the year and is traditionally a much anticipated and well attended event. The Gala financially supports the Chamber’s ongoing business educational events and advocacy work on behalf of local businesses.
Chamber Executive Director Anne Johnson said one of everyone’s favorite part of the Gala is recognizing community members with Visionary Awards.
These special awards receive nominations by the public and are intended to recognize an individual or individuals or a non-profit that has followed their vision by getting off to a successful start in their career or mission, and also gives of themselves, their time and talents, and their resources to the community in such a way that the entire community benefits.
