Business Awards and Installation Dinner

2025 Business Awards & Installation Dinner

One of the highlights of our year is the Chamber's Business Awards and Installation Dinner. Join us on Thursday, June 26 as we gather at the Hilton Stockton to honor local businesses and thank Jamie Bossuat, Kroloff Law Firm, for her outstanding performance as Chamber President from 2024-2025, and to welcome Elizabeth H. Kim, Leonardini, Despotes, Giannecchini & Nims LLP as our 2025-2026 President.
 
The evening will include Business Awards presentations and an installation ceremony of our new Board Members and Officers.

No host cocktails begin at 5:30 pm, followed by dinner at 6:30 PM. 
 
Help us celebrate these great local businesses and join us in shopping and supporting local all year round. Honorees will receive a plaque from the Stockton Chamber as well as certificates from local elected officials congratulating them on their hard work and achievements.
