THE WOODLANDS, TX – On the evening of August 21, The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce celebrated the 2020-2021 Chairman, Linda Nelson of Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center and the 2019-2020 Chairman Jeff Garrett of Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP. It was also a time to celebrate and pass the gavel to the new incoming chairman Julie Ambler. This Ball is the chamber’s 43rd annual event. Since 1978, The chamber has celebrated the past year’s work of the outgoing chairman by hosting what many would call, one of the most unique and amazing chamber events in The Woodlands. It is highly anticipated each year and for good reason. The evening was even more special with the addition of honoring Jeff Garret. Due to the terrible effects of Covid last year, the chamber wasn’t able to host an outgoing celebration for chairman Jeff Garrett. Because of that, Jeff was recognized and honored during this year’s event along with Linda Nelson. When Chamber President JJ Hollie recognized Jeff Garrett, JJ gave Jeff a unique Hawaiian Lei. Some in the audience wondered why he was given a lei. Apparently, last year before the Chairman’s Ball event was canceled, the theme for Jeff’s event was going to be called “A Night In The Islands” with an Hawaiian theme. JJ was giving Jeff a small memento and gesture to remember his service to the chamber and how valuable he was and continues to be to The Woodlands community. US Congressman, Kevin Brady was also in attendance and not only did he give a great speech honoring the two chairman, but Kevin also presented Jeff and Linda with a congressional commendation from the US House of Representatives for their work as Chairman for The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce.
