Congratulations to the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce for receiving the prestigious 5-Star Accreditation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce! The Chamber, through the hard work and dedication of their staff, members, and the investment of professional partners, continues to be instrumental in uniting regional chambers, lifting our economy, inspiring entrepreneurship, attracting new opportunity to our blue mountains and fertile farmlands, lobbying for resources, and encouraging a healthier and more resilient community in which to live, work, and play. Way to go team AVLACoC!
Meredith and Mary were excited to join All Souls Board members, corporate supporters, nonprofit collaborators, civic leaders, and almost 800 additional guests, at the June 10th Chamber Annual Meeting held at the OMNI Grove Park Inn. Here are a couple of snapshots of our friends, old and new, spotted during pre-program networking! In the Chamber's own words, "from bold leadership to lasting impact, [everyone] celebrate[d] the momentum being created across our region!"
We extend a huge shout-out to all the inspiring individuals and businesses that were recognized -- from family-owned operations, to outstanding innovators, career champions, nonprofit leaders, and more -- in the last year. Your commitment to our community is truly admirable!
