On April 7, 2023, The Aurora Chamber of Commerce will host our Annual Awards Banquet and Silent Auction red carpet event to recognize and honor the achievements and efforts of outstanding leaders in the Eastern Metro Area.

These awards are intended to honor individuals and businesses making a substantial contribution to the Aurora Chamber of Commerce and/or the community. As a result of the nominee's efforts, The Chamber and the community have received substantial benefits, and the community has become a better place to live, work, and recreate.

This is The Aurora Chamber's largest event of the year, where we enjoy an evening of networking and celebration of our members' amazing achievements! We usually have 500 to 600 people attend this event including government officials, top executives from large corporations, community leaders, community partners, and military leaders.

The Aurora Chamber is only able to host events such as this because of the generosity and support of our members and the community, therefore, we are asking for your support to assist us in doing so. As always, thank you for your continuous support for the Aurora Chamber and the community!

We are excited about this event to see all of you in person once again!
