NORDONIA HILLS CHAMBER BRIGHT STAR 2018 Recognized

Independence, OH—The Chamber Bright Stars for 2018 were recognized on Thursday, October 25th   at the semi-annual Chamber Leadership meeting and eleventh annual Chamber Bright Star Awards presentation of the Northern Ohio Area Chambers of Commerce (NOACC) at Pinstripes located at the new Pinecrest in Orange Village.

About 40 chambers of commerce across northern Ohio nominated a person from their chamber as their “Bright Star,” to recognize a chamber member who has “made a significant impact on the chamber through membership, retention, sponsorship, economic development, operations and/or education.”  Each Bright Star is an active chamber member for no less than two years and is likely to be an unsung hero or a dedicated behind-the-scenes volunteer.

April Hanus, President of Panda Promotions and Nordonia Hills Chamber Bright Star 2018, accepted her plaque from Cindy Holzheimer, NOACC Executive Director and John Sobolewski, NOACC Vice Chair and Executive Director of the Fairview Park, North Coast, North Olmsted, West Shore Chambers.  April is an extremely talented professional who combines drive, integrity, a sense of humor and a great personality to propel her business and our Chamber to great success.  As a member of the Board of Directors, Expo and Holiday Party Committees, April has put her profits second, and her business community first.

These volunteers represent a wide range of involvement with their respective chambers, some having been a member and or officer or committee chairman for 20+ years and some being newly involved but each of whom has given freely of his/her time, working hard for their chambers without any expectations.

This is the eleventh year for the Chamber Bright Star Awards, and again is giving an opportunity to recognize these volunteers among their peer groups, as chamber representatives, board members and spouses will also be in attendance.

Tony Gallo, President of the Lorain County Chamber of Commerce and NOACC interim chairman, knows this annual event gives local chambers a chance “to shine a spotlight on the people who help make our chambers successful, who bring their unique talents, insights and especially their attitude to make good things happen.”
