CORDOVA BUSINESS GALA

You’re invited to Cordova’s premier business event of the year, the Cordova Business Gala on Saturday, November 16th from 6-9pm at The Cordova Center in Cordova, Alaska!
We are excited to announce that ON-SITE CHILDCARE is available for attendees of the Cordova Business Gala this Saturday, November 16 at the Cordova Center. Childcare will be provided by volunteers from the US Coast Guard Cutter Fir and a suggested donation of $20 per child will support a local non-profit cause. This is part of an ongoing effort by Cordova Chamber of Commerce and local community partners to support caregivers and parents in the community and provide more opportunities for community engagement through childcare.
This year’s theme is “Oceans of Opportunity“, combining Cordova’s fishing heritage with its forward-looking coastal innovation sector. The evening will include dinner with a guest chef, Business Awards, an amazing live auction, entertainment, and more!

Join local and statewide leaders from near and far in your Alaska-Finest for a night of connection, celebrating the innovation happening in Cordova’s inspiring business community. As the primary fundraiser supporting the Cordova Chamber of Commerce, all proceeds support workforce development, small business support, and the growth of Cordova Chamber’s future-focused economic development and community resilience initiatives.

Cordova Chamber takes its role of community leadership seriously. We hope you will join us on November 16 in Cordova to learn more about some incredible projects in the home of the World’s Richest Waters that need your help! Enjoy an unforgettable evening, and leave knowing that you contributed to building a healthier, more resilient economy and community in one of the most unique and spectacular places on Earth! We look forward to seeing you there!

Featuring Guest Chef: Shane Moore

Growing up on the East Coast, Shane Moore developed his culinary passion alongside his mother and grandmother. In the late nineties, he brought his innovative and sustainable approach to cuisine to Alaska. Shane’s culinary journey began at Sacks Cafe (now Crush), where he thrived in a vibrant environment surrounded by talented chefs. He later opened Spenard Roadhouse and South Restaurant & Coffeehouse, deepening his appreciation for local ingredients and further fueling his love for the culinary arts. Shane also has the privilege of working at extraordinary, remote lodges and private yachts, allowing him to blend his culinary skills with his love for the great outdoors. When he’s not in the kitchen crafting culinary masterpieces, you can find Chef Shane immersed in any outdoor activities—whether skiing, scuba diving, fishing, or foraging.

With a steadfast commitment to locally sourced ingredients and a creative flair for unforgettable dining experiences, Shane is sure to elevate the culinary journey at this year’s Business Gala.
