Virginia Asian Chamber of Commerce (VACC) presents the 4th Annual Asian Chamber Gala to be held on Monday December 10th at 5:30 pm at the historic Jefferson Hotel in Richmond.
The event features a special evening celebrating Asian business success, students’ achievements, and individuals from the public and private service sectors who have made significant contributions to the growth of Asian American entrepreneurship in Virginia. The black-tie affair, “Dynamic Asia” is shaping up to be Virginia’s premier Asian business advocacy organization’s most popular Asian gala yet among the US Southern States.
Advance ticket sales have been booming, which the organization attributes to the event’s impressive cadre of corporate leaders, prominent national and statewide political figures, and international diplomat guests from India have been invited and plan to attend the gala.
The Chamber’s focus in the coming years is to continue to help boost small business growth among Asian Pacific American businesses as well as provide a platform for increased interaction between Asian businesses and the mainstream Virginia by expanding our activities across the Commonwealth”, Tinh Phan, VACC Chairman said.
The VACC hosts programs and events for members and strives to serve as a networking tool for Virginia’s growing Asian community, which includes 37 diverse ethnic groups. The Gala is open to the public. Individual tickets for Members are $100 and Non Members are $125.
