The energy was electric at our 2025 Annual Meeting on February 27th, where over 600 members of our business community joined us at the JW Marriott Austin to celebrate all the Chamber's accomplishments. We also honored our Volunteers of the Year and Austinite of the Year, welcomed our new board chair Mark Ramseur, and shared what we have planned for 2025.

From the moment guests arrived at our Annual Meeting, you could tell this would be a very special day - in addition to the sea of burnt orange in honor of our Austinite of the Year, Chris Del Conte & Texas Athletics, there was excitement everywhere.

The event kicked off with UT's drumline, cheerleaders, and Bevo himself leading our guests into the packed ballroom.

Karen Kennard of Greenberg Traurig presented awards to our Volunteers of the Year:

Tim Caperton (Susser Bank), Joel Coffman (Recognize Good), Hayden Baggett & Molly Carr (3 Point Partners), and Terry Pruett (Vivitec).
