Chamber Events

Legislative Breakfast – Every January, the Chamber gathers a group of elected officials from both the County and General Assembly to present an update on upcoming legislation affecting businesses in the coming year.   It’s an opportunity to network with like-minded business owners and get face time with local elected leaders.  

Small Business Awards Breakfast – A Celebration of Excellence to recognize business owners and non-profit organizations that have made a positive economic and community impact in Annapolis & Anne Arundel County.  

Midsummer’s Night Cruise on the Chesapeake – A member/staff favorite and July Tradition; the Chamber brings everyone together for a Sunset Cruise on the Chesapeake on Watermark Tours’ lovely, Catherine Marie.  It’s a beautiful evening filled with wonderful food from our member restaurants, networking, sunset bay views and of course, door prizes! 

Business Hall of Fame Dinner – Each fall, we honor and induct deserving leaders into the Anne Arundel County Business Hall of Fame.  Honorees must meet certain criteria such as age, years spent leading in Anne Arundel County, community service, etc.  It’s a great celebration of business leadership combined with great food, drinks, and networking.

Jingle & Mingle Holiday Party & Wreath Decorating Contest – In December, we throw a big holiday party to showcase & highlight the Best of Anne Arundel County.  Many of our small businesses buy party packs for their staff as their company party and leave the party-planning to us.  Additionally, the Chamber organizes a wreath decorating contest amongst businesses and then auctions off the wreaths at the party and donates the proceeds to a deserving non-profit organization.
