Eaton Family CU Leader is NOACC Bright Star 2010
The Chamber Bright Stars for 2010 were recognized Oct. 28 at the semi-annual board meeting and 15th anniversary celebration of the Northern Ohio Area Chambers of Commerce (NOACC), held at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo’s Primate, Cat and Aquatic Building.
Mike Losneck, Eaton Family Credit Union, was awarded a Bright Star on behalf of his work with the Western Lake County Chamber Commerce. He remarked, “We take our community involvement seriously at Eaton Family Credit Union. The WLCCC board and volunteers work hard. We had fun this year and raised a lot of money. I enjoyed working on the golf outing and the Oktoberfest was a blast.”
Almost 50 chambers of commerce across northern Ohio nominated a person from their chamber as their “Bright Star,” to recognize a chamber member who has made a significant impact on the chamber through membership, retention, sponsorship, economic development, operations and/or education. Each Bright Star is an active chamber member for no less than two years and is likely to be an unsung hero or a dedicated behind-the-scenes volunteer.
These volunteers represent a wide range of involvement with their respective chambers, some having been a member and or officer or committee chairman for 20 or more years, and some are newly involved. But each has given freely of his or her time, working hard for their chambers without any expectations.
This is the third year for the Bright Star Awards, and again has given an opportunity to recognize these volunteers among their peer groups, as chamber representatives, board members.
The Chamber Bright Stars will receive a plaque and trophy in addition to this public recognition. Wayne Lawrence, NOACC chairman was pleased that this opportunity allowed the chambers and their communities to give these Bright Stars the thanks they deserve for everything they do to help their chambers succeed.
