Each year, the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce brings together business leaders, community advocates, and changemakers for one of its most meaningful annual events: the DIAMOND Award Luncheon. Now celebrating its twentieth year, the luncheon has become a cornerstone event dedicated to recognizing women whose leadership, service, and impact have helped shape the Boca Raton community and city.
The DIAMOND Award is more than a title. It represents a set of values that define exceptional leadership: being Dedicated, Inspiring, Accomplished, Motivated, Outstanding, Noble, and Driven. These qualities are celebrated through a single honoree each year. That individual whose professional success is matched by a deep commitment to giving back every year.
For 2026, the Boca Chamber has selected Marta Batmasian as its DIAMOND Award recipient, recognizing her decades of leadership in business and philanthropy. The honor reflects alifetime of contributions that extend far beyond commercial success and into the heart of thecommunity.

Through her leadership and philanthropic efforts, she has supported initiatives in education, healthcare, cultural awareness, animal non-profits, and youth development all while leaving a lasting impression across South Florida.
