An Escondido Chamber tradition since 1912, the 107th Annual Installation and Awards dinner took place on Friday night. It is an event that we look forward to, for many reasons:
- We get to honor business leaders, organizations and volunteers for their commitment and impact on our community.
- We get to thank our board members and ambassadors for serving and leading the chamber.
- We get to install new leaders on the board and appoint new ambassadors.
The celebration is a culmination of a year's worth of hard work and achievements. In the case of the chamber 107 years of working for a prosperous economy, vibrant community and strong leadership.
