Chamber Celebrates
50 Years of Business in Dublin
For fifty years, the Dublin Chamber has been a guiding force for growth, opportunity, and community connections. We began with one simple, yet powerful purpose: to bring people together—to support business and foster relationships.
On August 14, the Chamber did what it does best. We gathered the community to join us in our celebration. We took over Pins Mechanical and Longshore St. and threw a party that was 50 years in the making! We hosted live music by North to Nashville, complimentary food from a dozen local restaurants, and held Duckpin and Cornhole tournaments, while also raising money for local charities like One Dublin and Glitter Guild.
To top off the evening, we hosted our 50th Anniversary Golden Gala at The Exchange at Bridge Park. The room was filled with influential civic and business leaders that have contributed to the success of Dublin’s journey from a small rural village to a global city of choice. The Chamber will continue to be a powerful connector and serve as a champion for entrepreneurship, innovation and community involvement. Cheers to the next 50 years!
Founding Executive Director Margery Amorose honored for her unwavering dedication to the Dublin Community
