              Description

              Chamber of Commerce Virtual Diamond Awards
               
              The Meadville-Western Crawford County Chamber of Commerce has announced that this year’s Diamond Awards will be presented virtually through a pre-recorded video showcase on Thursday, May 20, at 7:00 PM, on the Chamber’s YouTube channel. The awards are normally presented in April as part of the Chamber's Annual Dinner which has been put on hold until we can safely gather in larger crowds. We hope to return to a dinner format in 2022.
               
              Christa Lundy, executive director of the Chamber says, "The Chamber is delighted to be honoring these deserving individuals, nonprofit organizations and businesses that are doing so much for our community. There are so many wonderful acts happening, especially during this pandemic. That is why we are looking forward to recognizing these Chamber members who have been doing remarkable things throughout this past year."
