Chamber recognizes its members, annual winners

More than 300 turned out last Thursday to pay tribute and cheer on the winners of the 2023 Boulder City Chamber of Commerce awards and installation night at Boulder Creek Golf Club.

“Hearing about the last year’s accomplishments and the coming year’s expectations is always a win at the Chamber’s Annual Awards and Installation Dinner,” Chamber CEO Jill Lagan said after the event. “Our investors learn about how their dollars are put into programming and the coming year’s activities.”

She also praised the evening’s entertainment.

“Patrick Mahoney and the Celtic Cowboys (and Cowgirls) were absolutely entertaining,” she said.

In true award-like fashion, board members went up two at a time to open an envelope to announce the following winners:

Eva McGarvey Member of the Year Award: Ruben and Dixie Valdez

Bob Sears Lifetime Achievement Award: Roger Hall

In regard to Boulder City RV’s win, it was stated, “Boulder City RV has been an economic development dream here in Boulder City.

The industry is continually growing and Boulder City RV has been prepared for that growth.

“Their successful business has been one of the largest contributors to the tax base, helping to insure the financial health of our business community. They have been recognized for their excellence in customer service and have many loyal supporters.”
