Programs & Events

Membership Matters is the Chamber’s weekly newsletter, published every Tuesday, keeping members informed about upcoming events, business news, advocacy updates, member highlights, and opportunities to connect. It is one of the easiest ways to stay engaged, learn what is happening in the business community, and make the most of your Chamber membership.

Ribbon cuttings are one of the Chamber’s signature events and a great way to celebrate your business. Whether you're opening a new location, expanding your facilities, celebrating a major milestone, or commemorating a significant anniversary, such as 10, 25, or 50 years in business, a ribbon cutting provides an opportunity to showcase your business, connect with the community, and generate excitement alongside fellow Chamber members and local leaders.

Business Connection is the Chamber’s weekly networking event, typically held every Friday morning at the Holiday Inn & Suites, with the exception of select holiday weekends. Designed to make networking comfortable and productive, Business Connection provides an opportunity to build relationships, exchange referrals, learn about fellow member businesses, and make valuable connections in a welcoming environment.

Leadership Beaumont is the oldest continuously operating leadership program in Texas and has been developing community leaders for more than 50 years. This intensive nine-month program provides participants with an in-depth look at the industries, organizations, and issues that shape Southeast Texas while fostering leadership skills, professional growth, and lasting connections. The Chamber also offers Youth Leadership Beaumont, helping prepare the next generation of community leaders through hands-on learning and civic engagement.

The Chamber's 40 Under 40 program recognizes emerging leaders who are making a significant impact through their careers, community involvement, and leadership. Honorees represent a wide range of industries and are selected for their professional achievements, civic engagement, and commitment to shaping the future of Southeast Texas. The annual recognition program celebrates the next generation of leaders while inspiring others to become actively involved in our community.

Mix & Mingles provide Chamber members with a relaxed, after-hours networking opportunity while showcasing a member business at its location. Hosting a Mix & Mingle is an excellent way to introduce your business to fellow members, highlight your products or services, build relationships, and increase your visibility within the local business community.

The Chamber's Annual Meeting celebrates the accomplishments of the Beaumont business community while recognizing the individuals and organizations that make a lasting impact on our region.

The Chamber's Annual Golf Tournament, held each June, is one of our most popular networking events and supports the Chamber's programs and initiatives that strengthen the local business community. The tournament brings together Chamber members, business leaders, and community partners for a day of friendly competition, relationship building, and fun on the course.
