MONTICELLO, NY — The Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce is once again honoring individuals as the “Pride” of their community. The 23rd annual Pride Awards Gala on Sunday, May 4 at the Villa Roma Resort will honor 19 individuals throughout Sullivan County for their community involvement and their contributions to the economic development in the county.

Each year, nominations are received from the supervisors in each township and then winners are chosen by a committee of past Business Persons of the Year. One winner from each of the 15 townships is chosen as well as four countywide winners for Business Person of the Year, Distinguished Service to the County, Distinguished Achievement in the County and a Young Emerging Leader to be honored at the prestigious ceremony.

Contact your local town supervisor or village mayor with your nominations. Be sure to include the name of the person and/or business (verify spelling), contact information (mailing address, phone number, and email if possible) and why you believe they should be honored.
