New York (TADIAS) — The Ethio-American Chamber of Commerce (EACC) is set to host its annual Prestige Chamber Gala on May 15, 2025, at the MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland. This high-profile gathering aims to bring together business leaders, entrepreneurs, and policymakers for an evening of networking, collaboration, and celebration.

Chamber Gala Dinner: A Night of Excellence & Impact

A highlight of the evening will be the recognition of Tadiwos Getachew Belete, the visionary founder and CEO of Kuriftu Resorts/Boston Partners Plc, as the Guest of Honor.

His work showcases how homegrown talent can deliver unparalleled hospitality while celebrating the continent’s rich heritage.

The Prestige Chamber Gala promises a night of fine dining, inspiring conversations, and opportunities to connect with influential figures in various industries. As the Ethio-American business community continues to grow, events like this serve as a cornerstone for strengthening economic collaboration and mutual prosperity.
