A very special part of our Annual Dinner program will be honoring our 8th 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 are so pleased to announce that Janene M. Amick, CAP, CFRE, Chief Cheerleader & CEO of Florida Cultural Group, Inc. (Manatee Performing Arts Center), will receive the award this year.
We will recognize the incredible leadership of Janelle VanHoose, Esq., Esposito Law Group, in her service to our membership as 2024 Chair of the Board. We will also officially welcome Stu Henderson, Fawley Bryant Architecture, as our 2025 Chair 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, a delicious meal, inspiring stories, and more.
