The New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce will kick off the new year with its Annual Chamber Banquet on Friday, Jan. 30, 2026, at the New Braunfels Civic Center.
The event serves as both a celebration and a leadership milestone for the organization. During the banquet, Terri Adams, 2025 chair of the board, will formally pass the gavel to Chris Snider, who will serve as chair of the board in 2026. The banquet will also serve as the formal introduction of the Chamber’s 2026 leadership, including the executive committee and board of directors.

The 2026 board and executive committee represent a broad cross-section of industries and experience, united by a shared commitment to supporting business success and advancing the New Braunfels community.
The Annual Chamber Banquet is one of the organization’s largest and most well-attended events, bringing together business leaders, elected officials and community partners for an evening of recognition and connection.
A limited number of individual tickets and tables remain. Individual tickets are available for members wishing to attend, while tables offer an opportunity to host employees, clients or guests while gaining visibility at one of the Chamber’s signature events. Seating is limited, and the event traditionally sells out.
As the first major Chamber gathering of the year, the Annual Banquet sets the tone for 2026 and provides an opportunity to recognize leadership, reflect on the year behind and look ahead to the future of New Braunfels.
