The Howell Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that registration is officially open for its highly anticipated Annual Dinner, taking place on January 29 at 5:00 PM at Crystal Gardens. This signature Chamber tradition brings together business leaders, community partners, and members to celebrate a year of progress, collaboration, and meaningful impact throughout Howell and the surrounding area.
The evening will highlight the accomplishments and milestones achieved over the past year, recognizing the individuals and organizations whose dedication strengthens both our business community and our broader local landscape. Guests will participate in live voting for three award categories, enjoy a night of member recognition, and witness the exciting reveal of the Citizen of the Year. This year’s announcement will be made special with Dr. Hank Vaupel, the 2025 Citizen of the Year, returning to introduce the 2026 honoree.
As one of the Chamber’s most cherished annual events, the Annual Dinner underscores the mission-driven work being done every day: fostering a thriving business environment, building strong community relationships, and uplifting the members who help drive Howell forward. This gathering serves not only as a celebration, but as a reminder of the collective impact made possible through partnership, engagement, and shared vision.
Registration is now open, and early reservations are encouraged.
