President’s
Message
This issue of Momentum highlights the results of this year’s Scranton Awards for
Growth and Excellence – better known as The SAGE Awards.
The awards process is always exciting to me, not from the standpoint of competition,
but rather as a snapshot of all the exciting and positive things happening among the
members of the Chamber.
Over 80 applications were submitted for consideration across 14 categories. In
looking over these submittals, two important issues stood out to me: fi rstly, the
applicants were businesses both big and small, long-standing and newly-minted,
private companies and non-profi t organizations, all crossing dozens of business
sectors.
Secondly, the nominees came from four counties, which shows that the Greater
Scranton Chamber of Commerce offers services that cross traditional geographic
lines, and have a regional impact and appeal.
In addition, the Gala at which the nominees were fêted was a fun, rollicking affair.
The only problem was that my tuxedo seemed to have shrunk while hanging in my
closet! Funny how that happens.
