[SOLD OUT] Family-Owned Business Recognition Dinner

Description

The Regional Chamber, in collaboration with ScaleCo, Huntington and HBK, will honor 20 family-owned businesses at the Valley's inaugural Family-Owned Business Recognition Dinner from 5 - 8 p.m. on Friday, March 11, at the Lake Club in Poland. This event is a continuation of the Family-Owned Business Program, an informative panel series that launched in 2021.

The evening's festivities will include a keynote from Huntington Bank's Chairman of the Board, President and CEO Stephen Steinour. Steinour joined Huntington in 2009 after having served as managing partner at CrossHarbor Capital Partners. He had also previously served as president and CEO of commercial bank holding company Citizens Financial Group; division executive for Fleet Financial Group; and executive vice president at Bank of New England. Steinour began his career as an analyst for the U.S. Treasury Department and subsequently worked for the FDIC.

Of the 20 family-owned business nominees, the Regional Chamber and its partners will give special recognition to five of them in specific categories that include:

ScaleCo Success in Succession: Highlighting a well-executed and unique succession plan that occurred in recent years.

Huntington Social Impact Award: Focused on a family-owned business that went above and beyond to support the community while leveraging the business.

HBK Growth Story: For a family-owned business that took its enterprise to the next level.

Family-Owned Business Advocate of the Year: For a business or an individual involved in an initiative that supported the family-owned business ecosystem locally.

Local to National Presence: For a business that has managed to develop a national or global presence while remaining family-owned.

During the pre-dinner cocktail reception, guests will have an opportunity to participate in a wine and spirit pull, as well as basket raffles and a silent auction. All proceeds will benefit the Regional Chamber Foundation to continue to grow the Family-Owned Business Program.
