2026 Small Business Leaders of the Year
Each year, the JAX Chamber Councils select a Small Business Leader of the Year (SBLY) for their council. From these selections, an overall Small Business Leader of the Year is chosen. This year, Tom Snogles, Director of Operations of Twinkle Nights is representing the Three Rivers Council this year. The overall SBLY for 2026 is Darrin Eakins, Founder & CEO of DuBlase Whiskey.
Please note the new meeting location. We meet at the Adams Jenkins Sports & Music Complex (1859 Kings Road, 32209). Look for the gym which sits right on Kings Road in front of the school. Go inside the gym and we meet in a room off to the side.
