Celebration of Leadership 2016

SOLD OUT!  On-line registration has closed. Unfortunately, there will be no walk-in registrations at the door.

Boulder's robust, innovation-driven economy didn't happen by accident. It was forged by inspired business and community leaders from diverse industries, nonprofits and public institutions. Turning imagination into invention, invention into reality. And combining forces in dynamic collaboration through linchpin organizations like the Boulder Chamber.

For four decades, the Chamber has brought these leaders and groups together to honor those who have helped promote our strong economic and social progress at its annual Celebration of Leadership. Join us March 2 at the newly renovated Dairy Arts Center to hear this year's honorees' inspirational stories. And gain exclusive insights into the Chamber's action plans for 2016--continuing to work with bold leaders and partner organizations in our ongoing journey to "Build Community Through Business."

5:30-6:30 - Networking with our leaders - Reception by A Spice of Life Catering and Events
6:45-8:15 - Award Ceremony
8:15-9:00 -  After Glow Desserts and Beverages by Hazel's!

Performances by Zachary Carrettin and 3rd Law Dance/Theater.

PARKING and ENTRANCE (due to construction)
If the parking lot behind the Dairy is full, parking is available just across Walnut street in the parking lot of the offices and it's just a short walk to the north entrance. 
 
The new front entry is not yet accessible.  Please enter from the temporary main entrance on the north side of the building and check in at registration. Look for the arches and you'll see the sign pointing to the entry.  It's a short walk up the ADA ramp into our lobby.
