A message from Executive Director Cindy Caldwell BBC Volunteers Recognized The Beachwood Chamber held its annual Volunteer Recognition Luncheon on April 15th at the DoubleTree Beachwood. This special event brought together members, volunteers, community partners and staff to recognize member dedication to the chamber through hours of volunteerism. The speaker for the event, Roseanne Deucher, Director of Business Engagement at Business Volunteers Unlimited, relayed the importance of volunteerism, the impact that one can make on the success of an organization, and the personal fulfillment one gets from working with a team to achieve common goals. Heathyr Ullmo, board president, shared her vision and passion of having volunteer leaders engaged, achieving chamber excellence and strengthening community partnerships. Receiving the President’s Award for Board Member of the Year was board vice president Donnamarie Cook from the Cleveland Clinic. The President’s Award for Volunteer of the Year went to Krina Walsh of Visible Innovations. The Chamber’s highest honor, the Richard Adler Distinguished Service Award, was given to Dell Duncan of People’s Bank. This award was created to recognize board members who have given of themselves during their tenure on the board, as had the late Dick Adler. We thank our many member volunteers who have spent their time and resources to help us become the strong chamber we are today. It is through their continued support and volunteerism that the Beachwood Chamber of Commerce continues to be a catalyst for growth in the business community.
