This committee helps plan the biggest event of the year for the Shawnee Chamber of Commerce, the Annual Dinner! Held traditionally on the fourth Saturday of January, the Annual Dinner is our opportunity to recognize many volunteer leaders, celebrate the previous year and welcome the incoming leadership. The evening includes dinner, dancing, and live and silent auctions. Volunteers help plan the event theme, program, entertainment, decorations, food, auction, and more. The committee meets monthly beginning in September and assists with many details on the event date.

Please note: 2021's Annual Dinner is a little different! We've reinvented the event to celebrate our 75th Anniversary and are hosting it at Shawnee Town 1929 on June 25th. Find out more here.
