Celebrating Leadership, Building the Future

2025 Leaders & Legacy Updated

Step into the spotlight for an unforgettable evening of celebration, inspiration, and connection at the San Jose Chamber’s Leaders & Legacy Annual Membership Dinner on January 30, 2025. This year, we honor our iconic professional sports teams that bring pride, investment, and excitement to our community, while celebrating the leadership and innovation driving San Jose's growth.

The evening’s highlight will be a dynamic panel discussion, moderated by our college home team’s SJSU President Cynthia Teniente-Matson, featuring some of the most influential leaders in professional sports:

  • Brady Stewart, CEO, Bay FC
  • Jared Shawlee, President, San Jose Earthquakes
  • Jonathan Becher, President, San Jose Sharks
  • Stephanie Dittmer Rogers, Executive VP of Marketing, San Francisco 49ers

The evening will also feature remarks from Mayor Matt Mahan, a reflection on the Chamber’s achievements over the past year, and an inspiring look at its future vision. As we gear up for major sporting milestones in 2026—including Super Bowl LX, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, and the FIFA World Cup—we’ll explore the opportunities these events create for local businesses and our broader community.
