The keynote speaker was Frank J. Kenny, who spoke glowingly of the Casper Area Chamber of Commerce and its members.

Chambers connect businesses, entrepreneurs, and professionals, creating a network for collaboration and resource sharing. Members can learn from each other, share ideas, and build relationships that lead to new business opportunities.

Chambers play a crucial role in attracting new businesses, promoting local economic growth, and contributing to the overall stability of the community.
