A New Tradition

This year’s theme, “Leading with Heart,” highlights the compassion, resilience, and dedication of the professionals who make our valley a world-class place to live and work. In a powerful addition to this year’s program, the Chamber is proud to announce that members of the Young Professionals Network (YPN) will serve as the official award presenters.

“By inviting our YPN participants and leaders to take the stage, we are showcasing a new side of Rancho Mirage,” said Katie Slimko-Stice, IOM, President/CEO. “These amazing individuals are the future of our business community. Lifting them up in front of our most established leaders isn't just a gesture; it's a demonstration of what it means to lead with heart by investing in the next generation.”
