Annual Dinner & Diamond AwardsYou don't want to miss our biggest night of the year! We are expecting a full house again so you will want to make sure you get your reservations in as soon as you receive your invitation! Invitations will be mailed out to each Chamber business member in late March.
Winners of the Diamond Awards (including Emerging Leader, Small Business, Mid-Sized Business and Large Business, as well as Small and Large Non-Profit of the Year Awards), and the Lew and Ellie Davies Award will be announced at this annual event. The Raymond P. Shafer Award recipient will be announced by early April.
The Raymond P. Shafer Award, in its 33rd year, will be awarded to a member of the community who has made a positive impact on the quality of life in western Crawford County through his/her volunteer service to our community.
Likewise, the Lew and Ellie Davies Award for Outstanding Community Service will be presented to an Allegheny College student who has made a significant contribution to the Meadville area. The Diamond Awards will be presented to individuals, businesses and non-profits that have demonstrated excellent leadership and performance in their field and in the community.
