Frank And Gerry Leftwich Named 2005 Richardson Citizens Of The Year
In only the second time in the award’s history, the Richardson Chamber of Commerce honored two individuals as the Richardson Citizen of the Year at its 49th Annual Banquet on Feb. 9. Frank and Gerry Leftwich were presented the awards before a sold-out crowd of nearly 800 attendees. (See related story.) “This is not a co-award,” said Mike Spence, the 2004 Citizen of the Year who presented the awards to the Leftwiches. “They are two especially deserving individuals whose accomplishments as volunteers in the community are worthy of the recognition being given here tonight.” The Leftwiches moved to Richardson in 1969 and quickly established records of public service.
Chamber Launches Women's Initiative Did you know that according to the Center for Women’s Business Research nearly half of all privately held U.S. firms are 50% or more women-owned? Did you know that one-in-11 women is an entrepreneur? The Richardson business community is comprised of many powerful women and the Richardson Chamber of Commerce has developed a program specifically for these leaders. The new Power of Women (POW) group's mission is: Inspiring, influencing and championing powerful women through advocacy, mentoring and networking. The group is planning quarterly lunches, beginning this spring, which will feature inspiring women and provide networking opportunities. For more information, contact Elllie Jackson at 972-792-2803.
Richardson Living Features "Chamber Connection" Column One of the ways the Chamber connects with the community is through a regular column in Richardson Living titled "Chamber Connection." The column features news on RCC activities, initiatives and events as well as a listing of the newest members. Richardson Living magazine is a bi-monthly publication mailed to more than 15,000 Richardson households and bulk distributed throughout the city. Copies of the latest issue are available at the Chamber's office. |
