Description
Join us for the 33rd Annual Meeting at Prestonwood Country Club!
At this Morrisville Chamber Signature Event, attendees will hear from Bill Spruill, recognized by the Triangle Business Journal as the 2022 Business Person of the Year, as he shares fascinating insights about the meteoric rise of his company, Global Data Consortium, his motivation behind selling that company for over $300 million, and how he has repositioned himself to become a strong practitioner of an “engaged philanthropy” model of giving in his support of the Triangle and support of minorities within the technology sector.
This year's Annual Meeting, estimated to draw more than 300 esteemed chamber and community members, elected officials, and distinguished guests, promises an unforgettable experience filled with reflection on the achievements of this past year and the plans for the year ahead. In recognition of excellence, we'll proudly present the 2023 Awards for Small Business of the Year, Community Steward of the Year, Non-Profit of the Year, and Ambassador of the Year. Attendees can expect to leave inspired in philanthropic efforts, encouraged in their own career or company growth path, and equipped to support aspiring entrepreneurs and small businesses in the Morrisville and surrounding communities.
