If you’ve been with us for a while, you know how much we love a good celebration. But even more than that, we love celebrating you.
That’s why I’m thrilled to invite you to this year’s Annual Membership Meeting and Awards Celebration, presented by Taylor Telecom, happening on Thursday, September 18, 2025, from 5:30 PM to 10:00 PM at the Abilene Convention Center.
This isn’t just any celebration. It’s a night to honor the individuals and businesses that make Abilene shine. It’s our opportunity to reflect on what we’ve accomplished together, to recognize those who’ve gone above and beyond, and to reconnect with the community that powers our city forward.
And this year, we’re turning up the volume.
Theme? 80s Glam. Think neon lights, disco balls, and rad music. Whether you were there the first time around or just love the music and style, we’re bringing the electric energy of the 1980s back for one unforgettable evening. Dress the part, strike a pose, and get ready for a totally tubular time.
Throughout the night, we’ll recognize outstanding contributions from local leaders and organizations with awards that symbolize more than just success. They represent resilience, innovation, and community spirit.
Of course, none of this would be possible without our generous presenting sponsor, Taylor Telecom, whose commitment to the community continues to strengthen our region.
So, mark your calendars and join us for a celebration where we honor the past, look boldly toward the future, and yes, dance like it’s 1985.
Let’s celebrate progress, partnerships, and people—Abilene style.
Onward!
