Do you believe in Kansas City? We do!
In the words of everyone’s favorite quarterback, “We are never underdogs.” Our region unites to overcome any challenge and embrace every opportunity, so you can never count Kansas City out.
Where others say, “Why Kansas City?” we say, “Why NOT Kansas City?”
Our enduring belief in the collective power of people throughout our region to unite behind a shared vision is what keeps our community exceeding expectations and impressing newcomers who come to appreciate all our city has to offer. From barbecue and jazz to entrepreneurial innovation and community collaboration to our Midwest work ethic and welcoming style, our collective identity is something special that inspires greatness.
Because we believe in Kansas City, our community continues to grow, making progress faster than anyone imagined and pushing our region farther than anyone could have dreamed.
At the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce 137th Annual Dinner, you’ll be in the room with the biggest cheerleaders for a thriving regional community and learn about the things that motivate them to amplify success for the people who live and work here – and how the secret of our dynamic city is about to be revealed to a larger world.
Join us as we celebrate the leadership of outgoing Board Chair Lisa Ginter of CommunityAmerica Credit Union and welcome incoming Board Chair Charlie Shields of University Health.
And make sure to keep your seat for the exciting announcement of the 2024 Kansas Citian of the Year.
This year we will be joined by Ad Astra Chamber Orchestra of Kansas City during our reception and dinner as they provide music throughout the evening.
