Bossier Chamber announces annual gala | Arts & Culture

The Bossier Chamber of Commerce is preparing for its Annual Meeting and Gala on January 22 at the CenturyLink Center. 

The Gala begins at 7 p.m., and a VIP Chairman’s Reception will be held at 6 p.m. for top sponsors. 

This year’s event is taking a new turn, trading in the Night of Stars theme for a Mardi Gras Mask and an evening of decadence.  The Annual Gala serves as a time to reflect on the year and reveal the vision for the next 12 months. 

Kara Lowrie, 2012 chairman of the board, will pass the reigns to the incoming chairman, Jason Smith.  The outgoing and incoming board of directors will be recognized, and guests will receive the 2012 annual report with the 2013 program of Work.

In addition to a year in review and looking forward to 2013, the Bossier Chamber will recognize the Business Person of the Year and Business of the Year.  Each year, the Chamber recognizes the business community and those who excelled in areas of leadership, growth and involvement. 

The honors of Business and Business Person of the Year are reserved for those that are dedicated not only to their company, but also to making an impact here in their own backyard.  Awards will also be given for New Member of the Year, Media Partner of the Year, Military Relations Supporter of the Year, Diplomat of the Year and more! 

Nominations can be submitted through www.bossierchamber.com and must be received by December 3rd.  To be considered, nominees must be members of the Bossier Chamber of Commerce.   

Sponsorships and tickets are available to the signature event.
