State of the City & Citizen of the Year Luncheon

Join us on June 9th to hear from the West Des Moines Mayor Russ Trimble on an update of the 2021-2022 State of the City. 

The WDM Chamber and city of West Des Moines also annually recognize a WDM resident or business professional for Citizen of the Year in addition to honoring an Emerging Citizen of the Year with an award. These honors were created to promote and recognize the people, businesses and civic organizations that make this a great community in which to live, work and raise a family. Join us to honor 2022 Citizen of the Year, former Mayor Steve Gaer and Emerging Citizen of the Year, Gianna Pugliese. These individuals have made such an impact on our community.
