Mississippi Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce reflects on 2023 at annual meeting
BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) – On Tuesday, the Mississippi Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce held its annual meeting at the Beau Rivage, highlighting the impact of the Chamber and its work on the Coast.
With over 700 people in attendance, they passed the gavel from the previous President Amber Olsen to the new President, Eric Chambless.
Last year, they hosted over 250 coastal events and had over 20,000 event attendees.
“The Chamber last year gave over $66,000 back to the community in the form of small business grants,” CEO Adele Lyons said.
“We are all about helping our small business members, creating scholarships and other community grants. It’s a little bit of everything that keeps our business community moving forward.”
The Chamber also presented the 2024 Pat Santucci “Spirit of the Coast” award to long-time Gulfport attorney and philanthropist Rodger Wilder.
