The Greater Rostraver Chamber of Commerce will host its third annual Educational Conference Feb. 27 at Monongahela Valley Hospital in Carroll Township. 

Chamber Executive Director Gina Lynn said the event has evolved since its inception.

In 2017, the “From Frantic to Focused” conference was geared toward women in business and featured a local author, along with health, wellness and financial speakers. In 2018, the “Unique Leader” conference focused on multi-generational workplaces and included a panel discussion featuring community leaders and professionals. 

Lynn said this year’s theme, “Being the Best You,” resulted from brainstorming sessions with Monongahela Valley Hospital Foundation Director Melissa Marion and Charleroi business owner Casey Clark of Off the Wall Arts and Perked Up Cafe.
