Annual Business Leadership Awards Event

February 23, 2019
The Arcata Chamber Business Leadership Awards Event sees the congregation of more local businesses in one room at one time than any other time of the year.

This is a great opportunity for the diverse membership to come together, see old friends and meet new ones while honoring each other’s achievements in a festive atmosphere. Business awards (determined by their peers) will be announced during dinner.

The event is catered by Brett Shuler Fine Catering and Cassaro's Catering and drinks by Bar Nomadic. You will experience entertainment and dynamic live & silent auctions that helps raise funds for the organization to continue to work for the good of the business community. ***Local (Ferndale) surf painter, Shawn Griggs will be painting at the event and auctioning off the original art!***
