On February 26th, we held our annual E-Week Banquet at the Marriott Biscayne Bay. The evening weather was perfect for enjoying the waterfront courtyard during the networking/open bar portion of the event. We had over 65 of our peers in attendance! Commissioner Monestime (District 2) was our honored guest and took the time to recognize the importance we play in the role of our community. We then recognized our local chapter award recipients, each of whom was introduced by a fellow peer who wished to share some words. Congratulations again to all of the recipients:
