Throughout the past 88 years, Odessa business leaders have had a unified voice all because a group of volunteers came together in 1934 to create the Odessa chamber of commerce and to take an active role in helping Odessa grow and improve. Just like then, volunteers are doing the same today which is making things happen! During this event, we honor volunteers who continue to work with one common theme which is to improve our community!

THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR SPONSORS
A HUGE thank you to our 2022-2023 Platinum Sponsors! This select group of pro-Odessa businesses sponsor every program and event all year long, gaining high awareness through signage and verbal name recognition from the podium. They also save by being a Platinum Sponsor instead of buying a table and tickets to each individual event. We couldn’t do it without their generous support!
