IMPORTANT MESSAGE: CEREMONY POSTPONED

We wanted to share an important update regarding the Military Appreciation Ceremony. Due to the government shutdown, active-duty military members are currently not permitted to attend community events, on or off base. Because of this, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the Ceremony.

We are committed to properly celebrating and recognizing our servicemembers, and we want them to be there in person to join us. Once the shutdown is resolved, we will announce a new date and hope to have your continued support.

In the meantime, our Chamber team and board will continue working to support and advocate for our military community.

For questions or concerns, please reach out to Zach Yentzer or Allison Dias.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

We hope you’ve been enjoying this beautiful weather in the Valley (we certainly have) but unfortunately, it’s not cooperating with our plans. Due to the unpredictable forecast and the event space being an uncovered patio, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone November Business After Hours.

If you registered for this event and have not heard from us already, please feel free to give us a call at 623-937-4754. We’ll be happy to credit your registration fee toward any upcoming Chamber event of your choice. You can view our full events calendar here.

We are working closely with our host at Wildlife World Zoo to identify a new date, and we look forward to bringing this event back in 2026. We’ll share updates as soon as they’re available.

Thank you for your understanding, and for your continued support of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce.
