“We are very excited about the annual event that you will not want to miss, which will take place on Thursday, February 4, 2016 at the beautiful Vance Granville Community College Civic Center in Henderson.
“Duke Energy will again serve as the Presenting Sponsor for our 78th Annual Banquet. Currently, Maria Parham Medical Center has already secured one of our Gold sponsorships and BB&T, along with Wake Electric Membership Corporation, have invested as Silver sponsorships. And, Express Employment Professionals is a Bronze sponsor. Gold, Silver, Bronze and Contributing sponsorships are available for any Chamber member.
“Our annual banquet provides a unique opportunity to experience a delicious dinner while enjoying an evening of fellowship with friends, neighbors, and Chamber members. Along with the delectable meal, the evening will include:
“A keynote address delivered by the very dynamic speaker, Mr. Chris Chung, Chief Executive Officer of the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina who will provide an informative analysis about economic development in Vance County and North Carolina.”
Also as a part of the Banquet:
