Join us for the 109th Fall Business Breakfast, a signature event that brings together over 400 local residents, business professionals, and community leaders. This annual gathering is not only our largest fundraiser—supporting the Chamber’s year-round programs, operations, and advocacy—but also a valuable opportunity for networking, inspiration, and community connection.
The event kicks off with a buffet breakfast and networking at 7:15 a.m., followed by an engaging program from 8:00 to 9:30 a.m.
Keynote Speaker: Steve Gross
Steve Gross, a renowned advocate for the power of optimism, will be our keynote speaker. With over 30 years of experience, Steve’s journey began in 1989 when he founded Project Joy, a nonprofit that used joyful play to support homeless and impoverished children in Greater Boston. Now leading the Life is Good Playmaker Project, his work has gone global, impacting millions and training over 20,000 professionals. Steve will share insights on how optimistic leadership can drive success, especially in challenging times.
Honoring Darryl Settles
We are excited to present the R.L. Tennant Award, the Chamber’s highest honor, to Darryl Settles, founder of Catalyst Ventures Development. This award recognizes an individual who has made outstanding contributions to our communities.
Whether you’re a local resident interested in community initiatives or a business professional looking to network, this event offers something for everyone. We hope to see you there!
