Each spring, the McKinleyville Chamber of Commerce hosts the Annual Member’s Choice Awards Dinner to recognize the businesses, organizations, and individuals who go above and beyond for our community. It is an evening to pause, reflect, and celebrate the people and partnerships that keep McKinleyville moving forward.

Our 2026 theme, “Deeply Rooted, Growing Together,” reflects both where we have come from and where we are headed. It ties directly to our strategic priorities of growth, advocacy, and connection. It honors the roots our members have built here while highlighting the new ideas, investments, and collaborations shaping McKinleyville’s future.

On Friday, March 27, 2026, you are invited to join us at the Sapphire Palace at Blue Lake Casino for an evening of connection, storytelling, and recognition through the Member’s Choice Awards. More details on tickets, sponsorships, and nominations will be shared as we get closer, but we hope you will plan to be part of this celebration.
