This signature event brings together leaders from across the private, public, and nonprofit sectors for an evening dedicated to honoring excellence, strengthening community connections, and celebrating the spirit of business in the Marianas.
Each year, the Chamber recognizes individuals and organizations that have made remarkable strides in advancing the business landscape and uplifting the broader CNMI community. The highlight of the night is the presentation of the prestigious Business Person of the Year award, honoring an individual whose dedication, innovation, and leadership have made a significant and lasting impact on Saipan and the Commonwealth.
In addition to the BPOY award, the gala will celebrate outstanding achievement across four major categories: 2025 Chamber Member of the Year, 2025 Non-Profit of the Year, 2025 Small Business of the Year, and this year’s event also features an exciting new award category, 2025 Public Agency of the Year.
The evening will also include the official installation of the 2026 Saipan Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. Elected by the Chamber’s membership, these leaders serve a vital role in guiding the organization’s mission, vision, and advocacy efforts for the year ahead.
As the Chamber’s annual membership meeting, the gala promises a memorable night filled with recognition, celebration, inspiration, and good vibes.
