101st Chamber Banquet

​

Nearly 400 Chamber members gathered last week to celebrate the 101st Annual Banquet & Awards.

 

"With the support of our members, generous donors, attendees and volunteers, we raised more than $24,000 in funding for the Chamber's workforce development initiatives," said board chair Julie Herbort.

​

The highlight of the evening is the reveal of the Chamber's award recipients. We congratulate Betty Olfers, Chamber Woman of the Year; Jody Donovan, Chamber Man of the Year; Kory Keller, Volunteer of the Year; Luke DiCuffa, Student of the Year; Hill Country COVID Vaccination Site, Community Achievement Award and Gillespie County Utility Workers, Public Servant Award.
