On May 28th, the Lancaster Chamber’s Annual Dinner brought together more than 2,000 business and community leaders gathered for the Lancaster Chamber’s 154th Annual Dinner to celebrate leadership, community impact, and the collective accomplishments shaping Lancaster County. The evening also honored four distinguished award recipients whose contributions have strengthened our business community and region.
Ordinary People. Extraordinary Impact.
Celebrating the Collective Strength of Lancaster County Business
Success in Lancaster County is not defined by a single breakthrough innovation, one bold initiative, or a moment of challenge met with a quick solution. Our resilience and prosperity are built over time, through steady collaboration across businesses, industries, and leaders who show up every day to strengthen our economy and sustain a thriving community.
This is how ordinary people create extraordinary impact.
Meet the Keynote Speaker
Malcom
Gladwell
Malcolm Gladwell is the author of eight New York Times bestsellers, including his most recent book, Revenge of the Tipping Point. He has been named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People and one of Foreign Policy’s Top Global Thinkers. An extraordinary speaker, Malcolm has an unparalleled ability to be both entertaining and challenging, meeting the needs and exceeding the expectations of each unique audience with his signature eloquent, warm, and humorous delivery.
Renowned for his unique perspective on the forces driving human behavior, Gladwell employs masterful storytelling to break down the complex and often misunderstood concepts shaping society.
In his #1 debut The Tipping Point, which remained on the best-seller list for more than 400 weeks, Gladwell changed the way we looked at the world through his examination of how ideas spread. He revisits the phenomenon of social epidemics in Revenge of the Tipping Point: Overstories, Superspreaders, and the Rise of Social Engineering.
Malcolm is the host of Revisionist History, an award-winning podcast that takes a second glance at overlooked or misunderstood events, people, and ideas and asks whether we got it right the first time. He has been a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1996 and previously served as a science and medicine writer for The Washington Post. He has won a National Magazine Award and been honored by the American Psychological Society and the American Sociological Association. He is a member of the Order of Canada and holds an honorary Doctorate of Letters from the University of Toronto.
