Nominations Open for Annual Meeting Awards

Accepting Nominations for Annual Meeting Awards

The Seneca Regional Chamber of Commerce is now accepting nominations for the Women’s Career Excellence Award and the Outstanding Citizen of the Year Award that will be presented at their Annual Meeting in October.

The Women’s Career Excellence Award recognizes the potential of all women as valued members and leaders of the community and recognizes those who support them. The award honors individuals who strive toward the highest levels of professional accomplishment, who excel in their chosen field, have devoted time and energy to their community in a meaningful way, and who also open paths so that others may follow.

The Outstanding Citizen of the Year Award honors an individual who has proven himself/herself to be outstanding among his/her peers in the areas of professional competence, civic contribution and personal qualities.

The deadline for nominations is September 27, 2021. To nominate an individual, click here. A selection committee consisting of past award recipients will review all nomination forms and select the recipients.

Special Delivery!

Adam Darr with The Ohio Northern Innovations Company, LLC spent Tuesday with the Elmwood Assisted Living at the Shawhan team to help them install their new ActivePure Technology Air Cleaners into their facility.

This technology was originally developed by NASA, but has since been perfected by ActivePure. ActivePure’s Proactive Pathogen Defense continuously creates oxidizing molecules that significantly reduces viruses, bacteria, odors, and volatile organic compounds - both on surfaces and in the air. It has been proven to destroy up to 99.99% of pathogens. Originally cleared by the FDA as a Class II Medical Device, ActivePure is now making the same technology available to every business, hospital, public school, and home in America.

Elmwood took advantage of the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation COVID-19 Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Assistance Program in their facilities to ensure the safest environments for their residents.

IMagINe for Youth Foundation Announces Champions Club

The IMagINe for Youth Foundation announced last week the creation of the Micah Hyde Champions Club. A club that allows students with the opportunity to earn $5,000 in scholarship money through participating in athletics and achieving honor-roll level grades in school. This year the seventh-graders are the first class at Fostoria City Schools to have this opportunity. Grades 3 through 6 will become eligible next year and kindergarten through second will begin in 2023. The IMagINe for Youth Foundation was founded by Micah Hyde, a veteran safety for the Buffalo Bills and a former All-Ohio player for Fostoria High School. Learn more about the foundation here.
