Annual Meeting “Thriving Together” was a great success!


We did it! Our Annual Meeting was held on Thursday, September 26th at the beautiful Saguaro Buttes Wedding and Events Center. Nearly 70 local business leaders, community members, and officials came together under the theme "Thriving Together." The event highlighted the achievements of the Chamber and its members over the past year, while celebrating the shared commitment to fostering a prosperous and connected Vail community.



During the meeting, several prestigious awards were presented, honoring individuals and businesses which have made significant contributions to the Greater Vail Area:

  • The Chairman’s Award was given to Priscilla Storm, honoring her exceptional leadership and lasting contributions to the Chamber and the broader community.

The Annual Meeting also marked a moment of gratitude to Chris Evans, Chair of the Board and a representative of HSL Properties, for his exemplary leadership over the past year.
