Neighboring Caldwell County to honor businesses, leaders at March 12 event

Business leaders and community members in neighboring Caldwell County will gather March 12 for a revamped Chamber celebration that replaces the group’s traditional annual meeting with a new awards-focused event.

A Toast to Caldwell is scheduled for Thursday, March 12, from 3-6 p.m. at The HUB Station. The expanded venue will allow the Caldwell Chamber to welcome more members, partners and community leaders for an afternoon centered on recognition and networking.

The event will spotlight individuals, businesses and organizations that contribute to Caldwell County’s economic and civic life.

Awards to be presented include Small Business of the Year, Outstanding Non-Profit of the Year, Community Impact Award, Legacy Leadership Award of Excellence and the Torchbearer Awards.

Community members are encouraged to submit nominations through an online form at https://forms.gle/AmiM7RydGmvaeLgE9

“This event marks an exciting new chapter in how we celebrate and uplift the incredible work happening across Caldwell County,” Bryan Moore, president and CEO of The Caldwell Chamber, said. “We look forward to gathering together to recognize the individuals and organizations who continually move our community forward.”

Registration for A Toast to Caldwell is open through the Chamber’s website, thecaldwellchamber.com, under the organization’s Calendar of Events.

While the focus is on Caldwell County, the event may draw interest from Burke County business owners and organizations that operate or collaborate across county lines, particularly those with partnerships, customers or employees in Caldwell.
