Annual Meeting & Hall of Fame Luncheon
The 2020 Annual Meeting was held virtually on September 25th.
The Chamber holds its Annual Business Meeting during the first quarter of the year. A State of the Organization report is provided by the President & CEO. Directors are elected, and a guest speaker provides a keynote presentation on a topic of interest to all members. Past speakers have included Connecticut governors, U.S. senators and congressmen, renowned economists, university presidents, and other Connecticut personalities.
