Nominations 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.

Seneca CEO Program Kicks Off!

The Seneca Regional Chamber is excited to be a proud sponsor of the new Seneca CEO program!

Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities (CEO) is a new high school level program that will encourage a unique and creative learning environment for a select group of students. This program has been developed in conjunction with many area schools and has proven in other communities to be an asset for future workforce development.

The CEO program encourages the development of soft skills that are necessary to succeed such as communication, decision making and leadership. It connects students with local business leaders while creating opportunities to retain young professionals in Seneca County. It provides students a “real world” experience outside of the classroom where they can apply what they have learned.

We are all fighting to find and retain educated, hardworking and committed employees. We have confidence that the CEO will help to develop this next generation workforce we so desperately need.

Thank you to all involved for a great kick-off event and we cannot wait to see the successful outcomes of this new program!
