The Q
The Q, previously known as our Annual Membership Meeting, brings together professional and community leaders from all over the region to celebrate Chamber membership.
In addition to a BBQ dinner, we present the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award. See the honor roll of Lifetime Achievement Award Recipients below.
