May Chamber Luncheon to feature ERDC

VICKSBURG, Miss. (VDN) — The May Chamber of Commerce Luncheon will be an event not to be missed.

The luncheon, touted as one of the most anticipated events of the year, will celebrate leadership, innovation, and community impact.

The keynote speaker is Dr. Beth Fleming, Director of ERDC.  She will share updates on current research initiatives and highlight projects making a difference both locally and beyond. This is a great opportunity to learn how innovation and collaboration continue to shape the region.

The event will also recognize and celebrate the Leadership Vicksburg 2025–2026 cohort, honoring 20 participants who have dedicated the past year to strengthening the community. Each of the three teams — Team Empower, 2 Chix and 7 Fellas, and Canvas Collective — will present their community projects and share the impact of their work.

This annual luncheon is always a favorite, offering valuable insights, celebration of community leadership, and plenty of time to network with fellow business and community leaders.
