SHELTON - The Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce will present one Platinum Award, three Gold Seal Awards, and one Silver Medal Award Oct. 24.
The presentations will be held during a 5 p.m. reception at Center Stage Theatre, 54 Grove St.
Presented to the region’s business and community leaders who exemplify the spirit of selflessness and volunteerism, these awards are among the most prestigious and time-honored community service awards in the Valley.
Congratulations to: Platinum Award, Ernestine T. Luise; Gold Seal Awards, Joseph LoPresti, Dr. Bruce Sofferman, and Tom Wilson; and Silver Medal Award, Valley United Way Community Gardens Program.
The Silver Medal Award was first awarded in 1986 only 28 awards have been presented. In recent years, the Chamber has awarded the Silver Medal to recognize volunteer groups or partnerships that have made extraordinary contributions to the community or to recognize an individual’s dedicated service or assistance to the community in a particular area.
The Gold Seal Award was first presented in 1971. Since then, only 155 individuals have received this honor, making it an award that is rare and cherished by all.
This award is presented annually by the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce for outstanding community service through dedicated and effective leadership.
In 2001, in honor of the 30th Anniversary of the Gold Seal Award, the Chamber introduced the Platinum Award. This award is presented annually to a past Gold Seal recipient of at least 10 years who is still dedicated to volunteering their time and resources on behalf of the Valley Community. To date only 16 people have received this prestigious award.
The combined efforts of all recipients, past and present, have resulted in lasting contributions to the Greater Valley communities of Ansonia, Beacon Falls, Derby, Oxford, Seymour and Shelton.
