Over 200 chamber partners, their families and friends regaled in the event’s theme, Celebrating Success. Emcees of the evening were BRC Co-Chairs, Joe Janson, Dale Sorensen Real Estate and Tom Vani, Vani & Associates.
The Keynote speaker was Lynda Weatherman, President & CEO of the Economic Development Commission of Florida’s Space Coast, who also received a special honor as the Chamber’s “Champion of Business” for her 22 years of dedicated service to economic development in the county. All nominees for the awards were recognized. Representatives of the banquet’s major sponsors made presentations to the winners.
“It took a lot of hard work by several dedicated people to not only organize the awards ceremony, but to compile the nominations, evaluate the entries and make the difficult determination as to which companies would receive the honor of ‘Business Champion of the Year,’” said Janson & Vani, BRC Co-Chairs. “In light of the outstanding organizations that were nominated, choosing only one per category was not easy for our judges; they were all winners.”
