The Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting is a celebration of the successes of the past year, as well as, a forecast of what the upcoming year may bring. It is also a passing of the torch from our current Chair of the Board to the incoming Chair and awarding Chamber members who have excelled in different aspects of business, innovation, economic impact and customer service. This is one of our most highly attended events.
This year's keynote speaker is Capt. Guy D. Gruters, a United States Air Force officer and fighter pilot best known for his survival for over five years as a prisoner of war (POW), in Vietnam. He is one of the 591 surviving POWs of all military services released in 1973 for return to the United States during Operation Homecoming.
