At this year’s Annual Meeting, we started a new tradition. We invited table sponsors to come decorate a table for 8. Each table was pictured and entered into a Facebook voting competition for the best Table Top Award. We had 12 businesses participate, and they all did a fantastic job decorating their tables to show the uniqueness of their businesses while promoting our theme “Come Grow With Us”. Our first-year Table Top winner is Southern State Community College. Congratulations! Their name has been engraved on our traveling trophy and they will get to display the trophy until next year’s Annual Meeting.
