Annual Banquet

The Chamber Annual Banquet celebrates the start of our new year. Chamber members can enjoy dinner, hear from a keynote speaker, and help in celebrating special recognition of fellow members. It is a great opportunity for us to look back at the past year and the impact that our network of local businesses has made in the Newton area. One of the highlights of this event is the announcement of the Outstanding Citizen Award.

The 2023 Chamber Annual Banquet will be held on Thursday, September 21st at the Meridian Center from 6:00-9:00 PM. It will start off with a Social Hour at 6:00 PM and the banquet meal and program will begin at 7:00 PM.

This year’s speaker will be Alex Demczak. Alex is a keynote speaker, entrepreneur, and author who challenges businesses, schools, and sports teams to maximize their potential and make a difference. Alex is also a former SEC quarterback for the Missouri Tigers and the best-selling author of The Sale with Jon Gordon. Alex is passionate about helping high-performance leaders take the next step in their leadership journey.

Registration for this event is now closed.
