This year's ceremony

Thank you for joining us at The GSBA Impact Awards as we We honored businesses, non-profits and community leaders who exemplify the highest standards of their profession, promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace, demonstrate leadership and invest time and resources into their community. The “Red Carpet Style” reception and awards ceremony was held at McCaw Hall on Wednesday February 21, at 5 pm, and was hosted once again by Deaunte Damper and Besa Gordon from Converge Media. Guests had a chance to mingle, walk the carpet and show off their sparkle, enjoy entertainment and hors d’oeuvres before the awards were presented in an “Oscars” style ceremony. 

We want to ensure that everybody has the opportunity to attend our events, regardless of the size of your budget and we know that often systemic barriers get in the way of people participating as much as they would like to. If you would like to attend any of our events, but are unable to afford the ticket price, please reach out to us at membershiip@thegsba.org

If you have any dietary restrictions or special accessibility needs (wheelchair accommodations, use of an interpreter, etc) , please let us know at least two weeks in advance.

We could not maintain and continue a program as extensive as this one without the generous support of our sponsors.
