Get ready for one of the Chamber’s biggest celebrations of the year. The 2026 Annual Meeting is your chance to connect with fellow leaders, cheer on the standout businesses and professionals in our community, and kick off a new year of momentum for Howard County.
Join us for a lively lunchtime gathering filled with great conversations, meaningful recognitions, and a look ahead at what’s in store for the Chamber. We will honor this year’s ACE Award winners, welcome our new Board of Directors, and celebrate the accomplishments that shaped the past year.
It is a feel-good, future-focused event that brings our business community together in the best way. Come network, be inspired, and help us set the tone for an exciting year ahead.
Special thanks to our Premier Sponsor, COPT Defense Properties, for helping make this annual tradition shine.
Reserve your spot and be part of the celebration!
