The Latino Chamber of Commerce is excited to host our 47th Annual Dinner Dance Celebration, and celebrate the past 47 years right here in our beautiful city! The evening celebration recognizes outstanding community leaders, business organizations, and individuals, while providing a unique and elegant experience highlighting the Latino culture.
This year we will be joined by Mr.
Robert E. Bard, the President and CEO of LATINA Style Inc., a position he assumed in October 2001, after the untimely passing of his spouse and business partner, Anna Maria Arias, founder, editor & publisher of LATINA Style Magazine. Ms. Arias, in her eight years at the helm of the magazine, built it up to become the most respected publication in the Latina community. An overwhelming response to Ms. Arias’ demise from the Latina and Hispanic community inspired Mr. Bard to devote his energies to keep her mission and the goals of the magazine alive. Purchase your tickets to come hear from the unique eye and positions Mr. Bard brings to the Latinx community!
Cocktail hour will begin at 5:00pm and dinner along with the program will begin at 6:00pm. The silent auction will run throughout the event and end at 8:00pm, while the dance will begin at 8:00pm. The 47th Annual Dinner Dance Celebration will include a night of networking, dancing, celebration, a mariachi performance, giveaways, and a silent auction. Through your event ticket you will receive complimentary appetizers, sangria cocktails, as well as a dinner meal.
