Annual Gala & Community Awards

The Douglas County Chamber is pleased to announce that its long-standing Winter Ball will shift to a new brand for 2026. Traditionally held each February, the event will now take place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, as the Douglas County Chamber’s 81st Annual Gala and Community Awards.

Although the event is adopting a new brand, its purpose and traditions remain unchanged. Attendees can expect the same elegant evening, complete with award recognitions, meaningful networking opportunities, and a program that reflects the spirit of excellence in Douglas County.

Join us for an elegant evening as we honor our 2025 Douglas County Chamber Chairman, Trevor Quander of Georgia Power, and welcome our 2026 Douglas County Chamber Chairwoman, Alicia Doherty of the American Red Cross.

The evening will include cocktails, dinner, presentation of the 2025 Community Awards and the Douglas County Lifetime Achievement Award, festive entertainment, and opportunities to connect with business and community leaders from across Douglas County.
