WESTWEGO, La. – The Jefferson Chamber of Commerce hosted its 2022 Annual Meeting, presented by Ochsner Health, on Wednesday, February 10 at the John A. Alario Event Center.

As one of the Chamber’s largest networking and social events, the Annual Meeting serves as a celebration of accomplishments in 2021 and a preview of the exciting initiatives, events, and advocacy that are already underway in 2022. In front of over 450 guests comprising elected officials and leaders from diverse business industries, the Annual Meeting annually recognizes the achievements and contributions by local businesses and leaders in the community.
