61st Annual Dinner & 7th Annual Robert P. Bartz Award for Outstanding Leadership

Description

The greater Manatee County region is built for success and our business community continues to lead the way on issues that grow our economy and enhance our quality of life. Members of the Manatee Chamber contribute to that success every day!

Join us for our 61st Annual Dinner to celebrate all that we have accomplished together and capitalize on the critical leadership our businesses give to drive our agenda forward. 

We are excited to honor John Vita, Morgan Stanley, as the 7th Annual Robert P. Bartz Award for Outstanding Leadership recipient. This award honors the late Bob Bartz's legacy by recognizing the contributions of leaders who are committed to moving our community forward in the spirit of leadership that Bob embodied.

We will recognize the incredible leadership of Jeff Podobnik, Pittsburgh Pirates/Bradenton Marauders, in his service to our membership as 2023 Chairman of the Board. We will also officially welcome Janelle (Esposito) Van Hoose, Esq., Esposito Law Group, as our 2024 Chairman of the Board. 

Join us for a wonderful evening of celebration! There will be fantastic networking with 500+ business and community leaders, an enticing silent auction, entertainment, and more.
