Mon Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce has announced the honorees for its annual awards banquet.

Each year, the chamber recognizes four community members or groups during the event when the Shining Star, Excellence in Business, Outstanding Business Development and Regional Service Awards are presented.

The Shining Star award, given to an individual for achievements in their career and their community, will go to Mark Alterici of Dee’s Cricket Wireless in Charleroi. 

The Outstanding Business Development award, which recognizes a chamber member who has successfully expanded a product line or facility and has shown significant growth and employment, will be presented to Lesleh Precision, Inc.

Charleroi Sweeper Center will receive the Excellence in Business award, and 2018 recipient Coulson’s Sales and Service will be presented with its award from last year as well.
