2023 Recap
We’re Boldly Moving Forward
In 2023, with your tremendous support, we were able to capture the theme of BOLDLY MOVING FORWARD with nearly 2,000 attendees from our business community – through the spirit of the networking receptions, the talent of our opening ceremony, the stories of our award honorees, and the perspective of our keynote speaker. We feel honored to create the space that showcases Lancaster County and grateful that we get to be a part of this incredible business community.
We are excited to build on this experience once more in 2024!
