The Chamber’s Small Business Work Group will host the May 25 Community Luncheon to celebrate the positive economic impact small business has on Shelby County. Nominees for the Chamber’s 2016 Small Business of the Year -- in five categories -- will be recognized and the recipients in each category will be announced.

The program, presented in 2016 by Regions, will also feature keynote speaker, Keith Richards, Founder of Taziki’s Mediterranean Café. From perfectly grilled meats served with signature sauces to mouth-watering salads filled with fresh fruits and veggies, Keith Richards has mastered the art of creating imaginative, Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Join us as we hear what inspired Mr. Richards to open his first restaurant, which today, has flourished to 54 locations in 15 states.

The Chamber is offering businesses an opportunity to participate in its Showase Feature. The Showcase Feature is offered during the networking portion of the luncheon beginning 11:00AM. It’s a mini-business expo and the “Showcase Feature” does just what the title implies … offers those businesses that participate the opportunity to showcase their products and services to attendees.
