I have been a proud member of The Greensboro Chamber of Commerce for over 13 years and had the opportunity to photograph their annual State of Our Community event last month. This year's event was sold out and was a huge success. Over 1000 attendees took part in this year's function which was at The Koury Convention Center and Hotel.
The Chamber has asked me to document this event for many years and I always look forward to it. The opening remarks were provided by Brent Christensen who is the President and CEO of The Greensboro Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber staff also recognized and surprised Brent with a special segment of the program, acknowledging his commitment to the Chamber for 10 years now and Greensboro as a whole!
The main purpose of this event is to provide some updates about our growing community and to acknowledge some important people as well with awards and recognition.
There are three major awards given each year at the State of Our Community to recognize school improvement, community acceleration and economic/workforce development. The Triad has experienced amazing growth and economic boom in the last few years and I'm excited to be part of it here in Greensboro, NC. There were some other important additions to this year's program.

The keynote presenter this year was Dan Da Silva, President and COO of Jetzero. The Triad continues to be a massive aviation hub and destination for these important companies to call home.

Greensboro has been home to my family and my business since 2004 and proud to call it home. Micciche Photography has been the premier corporate and commercial photography studio since 2004 with a studio located in downtown Greensboro on S Elm St. I appreciate all the work and wonderful things The Greensboro Chamber of Commerce does for our growing town!
