Save the date for this enchanting and inspirational event. Masquerades have inspired operas, literature and portraits. Now, the masquerade is inspiring our upcoming awards on Wednesday, June 26th, 2013. Fade into an event full of professionals dressed to reinvent the costumed galas of old.
The historic charm of the night will be stylishly set at the Omni Parker House, America’s longest continuously operating hotel. We will celebrate our chapter in the Omni’s new rooftop ballroom ~ one of the premier event spaces in all of Boston!
With the installation of the new board members and a celebration of those who are departing, you may be inspired to un-masque your own inner aspirations to increase your involvement within our chapter at this glamorous event.
Show yourself and show off during this year’s annual meeting reception, dinner & awards in masquerade style. Deep reds, crushed velvet, gold accents and masques will be just the start. Please join us in the reverie; this will not be your usual evening of networking!
Awards will be given for Planner of the Year, Supplier of the Year, Chapter Leader of the Year, Tomorrow’s Leader, the Sam Dame Scholarship Award and the Kathy Keegan-Cummings Scholarship Award.
President Elect, Mark Bice, will start his term off in style, and the evening will leave our members reflecting on the event all year long. Bask in the history and create your own!
