🔥 2026 Celebration of Excellence: Fire & Ice ❄️
Join more than 600 business and community leaders for the 2026 Celebration of Excellence, presented by CLA!
To succeed in business, you need two things—fire in your belly to make things happen, and ice in your veins when the heat is on.
Fire & Ice will collide in a spectacular night of sizzling surprises, cool company and unforgettable celebration. And once again, excellence will take center stage as we toast our annual honorees, the Lakes Area business community, and the Leadership Experience Class of 2026!
