45TH ANNUAL GALA AND HISPANIC BUSINESS HALL OF FAME

A time where we come together to celebrate each other and the community, the annual GWHCC gala allows us to recognize the workers and leaders of our local business community. In an effort to begin telling their story, the Chamber launched in 2019 the first ever GWHCC Hispanic Business Hall of Fame recognizing business leaders whose achievements continue to promote and advance the economic climate of our communities. This year, we are committed to making history with as we celebrate our 45th year. This is one black tie event you don't want to miss.
