| The Annual Dinner, hosted each Spring by the Chamber, is the event that no Chamber member can afford to miss! The highlight of this event is a keynote address by a prominent, national speaker that gives an address to the membership. It also marks the close of the Chamber's program year.
The Annual Dinner is not only a great opportunity to hear the insights of a recognized figure, but it is also a great networking opportunity. With more than 500 guests in attendance, the Annual Dinner is a great way to meet fellow members, the Chamber Board of Directors, president, and staff.
Noted speakers who have addressed the membership in the past are: Greg Gumbel, CBS Sports, Mark Shields, nationally known U.S. political columnist and commentator, Senator Joseph R. Biden, Jr., D - DE., Ron Jaworski, 17-year NFL veteran and one of football's top analysts for ESPN, Tucker Carlson, co-host of CNN's Crossfire, Michael Patrick King, executive producer of Sex and the City, Edward Irving Koch, former mayor of New York City, James E. Oesterreicher, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of JCPenney Company, Inc., the late Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill; Capt. Scott O'Grady; Edward Kennedy, Jr.; Peggy Noonan; and former President Gerald Ford.
