Fort Bend Lifestyles and Homes Magazine Dec 2009: Chamber January Awards Luncheon

Chamber members are typically those business owners and professionals whose commitments to growing their communities and businesses have set them apart from the crowd. Some of those members ’ “above-and-beyond” efforts elevate them to even higher levels of success. The Central Fort Bend Chamber Alliance will recognize six of those above-and-beyond efforts at its 2009 Annual Awards Luncheon on Friday, Jan. 8, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Safari Texas Ranch, Magnolia Room.

The categories to be honored for 2009 include: Business Person of the Year, Corporate Partner of the Year, Volunteer of the Year – Raymond Saage Award, Committee Member of the Year, Ambassador of the Year and Board Member of the Year.

Reservations for the luncheon are $30 for chamber members and $40 for prospective members and guests. After Jan. 5 at noon, a $10 late fee will be added. Cancellations less than 72 hours in advance and “no shows” will be charged. Corporate Tables and Sponsor opportunities are also available. For reservations or more information, call the chamber at 281-342-5464 or e-mail mromero@CFBCA.org.
