On behalf of the Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce, it is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to this extraordinary evening as we commemorate the rich legacy of Black excellence and celebrate the 50th anniversary of our Chamber under the theme of "Celebrating 50 Years of Black Excellence."

 

We will gather not only to honor the remarkable achievements of the past but also to celebrate the joy of the holiday season with our Holiday Gala. It is a time to come together in fellowship and celebration, highlighting the diversity and unity of our community. We will be honored to have you along with our distinguished guests, community leaders, and partners who have played pivotal roles in our journey. Your presence will underscore the unity and strength of our community as we strive for a future that is even brighter and more inclusive.

 

We would like to thank our Honorary Chairman, Oliver G. Gilbert, III for his unwavering commitment to Miami-Dade County, from Florida City to Miami Gardens. His innate understanding is that the strength of our community lies in our unwavering commitment to advocating the need for equity and opportunity — this commitment underscores why we gather to celebrate
the Chamber’s 50 Years of Black Excellence. 

 

Throughout the evening, we invite you to join us as we engage in meaningful conversations, and celebrate the incredible impact of Black businesses on our community. Let us use this occasion to renew our commitment to collaboration, innovation, and empowerment as we shape the future of Miami-Dade together.

​
