The Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce welcomed members, civic leaders, entrepreneurs, and community partners to Beverly Cañon Gardens for its signature member celebration and annual Board Installation.

On Wednesday, June 24, the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce brought together more than 600 guests for the 2026 Summer Garden Member Appreciation Party & Board Installation. Set within the exceptional surroundings of Beverly Cañon Gardens, the annual gathering celebrated the relationships, leadership, and shared momentum that continue to strengthen the Beverly Hills business community.

Throughout the evening, executives, entrepreneurs, civic officials, and professionals representing organizations from across the region gathered for meaningful conversation in an atmosphere that was both elevated and welcoming. Longstanding Chamber members reconnected with familiar colleagues while new relationships formed among the businesses, institutions, and community leaders shaping the future of Beverly Hills.

The evening opened with welcoming remarks from the Chamber, followed by a performance of the national anthem by Abi Koya. Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Todd Johnson reflected on the strength of the Chamber’s membership and the importance of creating opportunities where business and community leadership can come together. Presenting Sponsor PLANT Construction Co. was recognized for its significant support of the celebration, with Chris Rivielle joining the program to welcome guests and mark the importance of continued investment in Beverly Hills and its business community.

The defining moment of the evening was the formal installation of Stephanie Cohen, Vice President, Health System Government & Industry Relations at Cedars-Sinai, as Chair of the Board for the 2026 – 2027 term, alongside the incoming Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. The ceremony marked the beginning of a distinguished new chapter of leadership and reaffirmed the Chamber’s continued commitment to serving, strengthening, and advancing the Beverly Hills business community. The program also honored Lashelle Ullie as the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce Ambassador of the Year, recognizing his outstanding dedication, service, and commitment to strengthening connections throughout the Chamber community.

Magician Angus Baskerville added an element of wonder to the midsummer gathering, entertaining guests throughout the gardens. The experience was made possible through the generous support of Grant’s Crusade Foundation and became one of the evening’s most memorable features.

Across the gardens, guests discovered an extensive collection of culinary tastings, beverage experiences, interactive displays, and branded activations presented by Chamber member businesses. Participating restaurants, hospitality groups, financial institutions, healthcare organizations, professional service firms, and luxury brands offered an engaging representation of the diversity and quality found throughout the Chamber’s membership.

The Beverly Hills Courier welcomed guests into its signature magazine-cover photo booth, creating a memorable setting for photographs throughout the evening. Among those featured were members of Business Network International alongside Beverly Hills Chamber Membership Director Melissa Case, reflecting the collaborative spirit that defines the annual celebration.
