Description

The Chamber's Annual Celebration: Celebrating Leadership, Service and Community Impact 

At the heart of the program, we will present the 2025 Legacy Leader Award to Jeffry J. Volk, a business and civic leader whose career and service have left a lasting mark on our community. Through storytelling, we’ll highlight Jeffry’s decades of leadership — from growing one of the region’s most respected engineering firms to showing up as a servant leader in countless civic organizations. 

This year’s event will also shine a spotlight on the launch of The Chamber’s Center for Civic Engagement, a bold initiative designed to spark greater involvement and collaboration across the region. 

Expect an afternoon of reflection on our region’s accomplishments, recognition of those who make progress possible and inspiration from the difference one person can make when purpose guides every decision.
