2008 Business Volunteer Awards and Celebration

Business Volunteer Awards and Celebration!

Please join us for our annual celebration of Chamber volunteers!

As a nonprofit organization, the Chamber relies heavily on the involvement of our many dedicated volunteers to help us fulfill our mission and serve the needs of our business community.

Our annual Business Volunteer Awards (BVA) is one way we recognize and honor those individuals who go above and beyond to contribute their time, expertise and passion to the Scottsdale Chamber.

We invite all our members and friends to join us for this special evening and help us celebrate the spirit of volunteerism in our community.

Our celebration promises to be a wonderful evening filled with special awards and video presentations including:

Carving Station
Delectable Deserts
Cash Bar
Music and Entertainment
Incredible Raffle Prizes
and more!
