The Lima/Allen County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the 23rd Annual Awards Gala on Thursday May 8, 2025. We invite you to join us and enjoy this elegant evening where we will recognize area businesses and leaders for outstanding accomplishments.
Our theme this year is The Wonderland Gala, where Alice’s journey reflects the challenges businesses face—choosing the right path, staying focused on their vision, distinguishing between the impassable and the impossible, and moving at double speed to stay ahead. This theme inspires leaders to embrace creativity, adapt quickly to change, challenge the status quo, and think beyond traditional limits to achieve success.
Cheers!🥂
The evening will begin at 5:30 pm. Dinner begins at 6:00 pm.
Following dinner, the 2025 Awards will be presented.
