The 107th Annual Meeting of the Morristown Area Chamber of Commerce will be held on Thursday, November 9 at First Presbyterian Church, 600 W. Main St. in Morristown. The Thursday night meeting continues the format established in 2016 of moving the meeting to a weeknight with an earlier start time. Last year’s meeting saw a good turnout from the business community to support the Chamber’s mission and learn about the accomplishments for the year.
This year, the Chamber is making another change by moving the event to the Family Life Center at First Presbyterian Church. This will make the meeting more centrally located. It also enabled the Chamber to confirm the speaker months in advance. Chamber chairman Gordon Lintz is excited to announce that Mr. Andy Berke, Mayor of Chattanooga will be our featured speaker for the meeting.
With the new venue, there will be some changes in the Annual Meeting seating. Tables will seat 10 guests this year instead of 8 guests as in the past. A new seating chart and room layout will be prepared and included with the invitations to the meeting which will be sent to the membership early next week. At that time the caterer and ticket prices will also be announced.
In addition to a recap of the successful Chamber year by Chairman Lintz and comments by incoming Chair Chris Horn, the traditional awards will be presented to the Ambassador of the Year and R. Jack Fishman Community Service Award winner.
