2020 Annual Dinner & U.S. Senate Debate


Thank you to all who helped make our 2020 Annual Dinner and U.S. Senate Debate a success. The video below is a recording of the October 22 livestreamed event.

In case you missed it, our live-streamed 2020 Annual Dinner program opened with a video on Mainers coming together during times of adversity featuring Maine’s seven living governors – Janet Mills, Ken Curtis, John Baldacci, Joe Brennan, Paul LePage, Angus King, and John McKernan.

We also honored Maine icon Woodrow Cross, the founder of Cross Insurance who died in July at age 103, recognizing his memory with our Dirigo Award and a special video tribute to his life and legacy.

We were pleased to launch our new magazine, OneVoice Maine, as well. The inaugural edition recognizes the extraordinary efforts and contributions of Maine’s business community - our Community Champions - in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; pays tribute to the life and legacy of Woodrow Cross; shares inside perspectives on the COVID-19 pandemic from contributors including Northern Light Health, Good Shepherd Food Bank, the University of Maine; and more.

We also were pleased to host an informative U.S. Senate debate in partnership with News Center Maine. All four candidates – incumbent U.S. Senator Susan Collins (R), Speaker of the Maine House of Representatives Sara Gideon (D), and Independents Max Linn and Lisa Savage – participated. We thank them for an informative discussion on issues that matter to Maine people, Maine’s business community, and the nation.

It was a privilege to celebrate Woodrow Cross, Mainers’ resilience in the face of adversity, and the incredible ways Maine’s businesses and workforce have stepped-up in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We thank everyone who made the annual meeting and debate possible, including these sponsors:
