As in most things, there are always lessons to be learned; heroes to be honored; and strength, determination, and creativity to be admired, even in a challenging year like 2020. I would like to thank the Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce and the ge...nerous sponsors for providing us this opportunity to highlight the challenges and upside of 2020."
