Anne Miller of Miller & Miller Insurance was announced as the recipient of the annual Besserung Award on Friday during the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce’s 103rd Annual Banquet
Four county judges.
Along with probably hundreds of employees, members and stakeholders of the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce, thatâs how many people retiring president and CEO Michael Meek has served and interacted with since his tenure with that organization started in 1988.
He has worked in various capacities in the organization, assuming the CEO post in 1995.
As he says goodbye but not necessarily farewell this week after three decades at the organization tasked with strengthening the local economy, advocating for its members and the community and advancing community excellence, Meek told the Herald-Zeitung that he believed that a chamber of commerce is one of those unique non-profit organizations â there are no other organizations like it in the country, he said â that serves the intersection of business, government and residents.
Retiring Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Michael Meek was honored Friday night for his civic service as the Chamber announced him the winner of the Besserung Award, often referred to as the New Braunfels outstanding citizen award.
Community and business leaders gathered to hear the announcement during the Chamberâs 102nd annual banquet and awards ceremony at the New Braunfels Civic/Convention Center.
The name of the winner was kept secret until the moment of the announcement. For the first time in Meekâs tenure as Chamber president and CEO, he did not know the real recipient. With the help of a few clued-in staff and executive board members, the honor came as a complete surprise to Meek.
