HAVERHILL CHAMBER PREPARES TO CELEBRATE A CENTURY OF COMMERCE IN THE REGION

In support of “A Century of Commerce” GHCC will host several special events AND be collecting memories, artifacts and images from the past 100 years in Haverhill business. The effort will culminate with a milestone event, the 100th Annual Dinner and Awards Celebration on June 2, 2016. This gala event will be a time to recognize the history of business and commerce in the City of Haverhill, from Shoe Manufacturing to Creative Economy, and celebrate a century of business growth and development in our region. Plans to honor businesses with longevity through special awards, such as the Longevity Award, Half-Century Award and the Centenarian Award are already in the works.
In addition to the special awards, the Chamber’s Annual Charles E. Billups Award, Jerry Loy Award, Community Leader award and the Chamber Service award will also be presented to very deserving local business owners for their outstanding efforts during the past year.
