THE WOODLANDS, TX -- The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce held its 46th Annual Chairman’s Ball on Saturday, August 17, 2024 at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center. The James Bond Casino Royale themed event honored outgoing Chairman of the Board, Brian Albert, Partner at Kean Miller LLP.

The evening featured dinner, dancing and casino games. Guests also enjoyed a martini bar and had the rare opportunity for a photo op with a vintage Aston Martin.

One of the most unique aspects of The Chairman’s Ball is the Tabletop Decorators competition. This year’s winners are:

  • Best Newcomer: Image 360 Signs and Graphics
  • Best Did Yourself: Interfaith of The Woodlands
  • Best Done for You: Enterprise Holdings
  • Best Use of Theme: Weygandt Law
  • People’s Choice: Market Street

The Chairman’s Ball marks the last major event of Albert’s tenure as he passes the gavel to incoming Chairman Ann Wolford of the Wolford Group for the 2024-2025 term.

Albert commented, “This year’s Chairman’s Ball served as a wonderful culmination of my tenure serving as Chairman of the Board of Directors for The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce. A true mixture of class and fun, our gala planning team performed a masterful job of weaving in our James Bond theme throughout the event, and it really gave our Chamber an opportunity to shine its brightest.

“We certainly experienced a full gamut of achievements and challenges throughout this past year, but through it all, our Chamber continued to thrive, and I couldn’t be prouder of the many individuals and organizations that helped us achieve those successes for the betterment of our community. Helping to lead our Chamber has been a true privilege and honor in my professional,career, and I am so excited to see all of the future accomplishments and triumphs that I know will follow.”

Thank you to everyone who attended, planned, sponsored and volunteered to create a memorable evening. The Chamber extends its deepest appreciation to the Chairman’s Ball team of volunteers that organized the event – led by Chamber Director of Signature Events Gabby Peña, Team co-leaders Melissa Young of Corporate Incentives, Inc., Dusty Paez of Fusion Academy and Chamber Board Vice President of Signature Events Debbie Kaschik of The Young Learners.
