The Kent Chamber of Commerce’s Annual President’s Gala was a night to remember.
More than 300 business and community leaders came out to enjoy all that was good about doing business in Kent. And there also was plenty to bid on, during the gala auction, as well as to watch, when the chamber presented its Business Leadership Excellence Awards.
The awards are to recognize what the chamber calls “exceptional leadership, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit that member companies and their employees embody and share with the organization and the community.”
