Spring and Summer always bring fabulous events for the Chamber! Here's a brief recap of the last couple of months:
First and foremost, many of our members came together to celebrate the achievements and contributions of our colleagues at the Annual Chamber Awards Luncheon. All of the awardees contribute to our county in different and important ways, and make this a great place to live, work and play. We were honored to recognize the following individuals and organizations:
- Phyllis Goldman Award: Cynthia Bouley of Aversa Agency, Inc.
- Terri Bridenbecker Young Professional Award: Alex Schloop of Inns of Aurora
- Community Leadership Award: Stephanie DeVito of Auburn Downtown BID
- Small Business Less Than 5 Years: King's Auto Supply, accepted by Chris King
- Small Business 5+ Years: 1840 Dulles Inn, accepted by Elizabeth Koenig
- Business Leader Award: Two Plus Four Management, accepted by Sue Kimmel
- Non-Profit of the Year Award: Cayuga County Habitat for Humanity, accepted by Kip Coerper
We've also had some great networking events this spring. In March, we spent an evening at Auburn Discount Liquor enjoying wine tasting and had lunch at Tompkins Trust on North Street. Then in April we visited del Lago Resort & Casino with our friends from the Skaneateles Chamber, where there was plenty of good food and company to go around. May brought us to back to the Chamber to have lunch with Premier Payroll, then to the Hilton Garden Inn for a Business After Five. These events offer the opportunity to get to know other members and building face to face relationships with people in our community. If you haven't been, try one out! We'll be at a Double Days game on June 26 for the kickoff of Networking Nights, which will be happening at every Tuesday and Wednesday night game this season. These nights will allow you to network with other Chamber members, as well as meet members of the Seneca County Chamber. Just use the promo code "Networking" for discounted tickets on those nights.

Congratulations to the Class of 2018 for your accomplishments thus far, and we look forward to seeing what you'll do next!
