The annual meetings and banquets of two local Chambers of Commerce have been postponed and will be rescheduled to later in the spring of 2022.
Leaders of the Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce and the Granville County Chamber made the announcements Wednesday.
Both meetings had been planned for late January, but rising cases of COVID-19 prompted both boards of directors to push the events out, in hopes that the surge in cases will have slowed.
The Henderson-Vance Chamber event has been rescheduled to Tuesday, April 12, 2022; the Granville Chamber banquet is scheduled for March 28, 2022.
Both events will be held at the Vance Granville Community College Civic Center.
“After consulting local health officials and with the support of our sponsors we have decided it is the safest decision due to the increase in COVID cases in our community,” according to Lauren Roberson, executive director of the Granville Chamber. “Everything about the banquet will remain the same, just a new date.
