Each year, the Defiance Area Chamber of Commerce holds our Annual Meeting & Awards Banquet on the second Thursday evening in September. We will use the evening to celebrate the success of all membership companies with five or more years of operation in the greater Defiance area. Each year, we showcase over 45 businesses whom are recognized for their achievements.
