Chamber

The annual awards luncheon of the Bristol Chamber of Commerce took place today under lightly snowing skies.

A sold-out house celebrated another successful year under the leadership of outgoing Chairman Scott Emerine.

A Lifetime Achievement Award was given to John Tickle and special recognitions were made to Joy Behymer, Lori Cogan, Sarah Gillespie, and Marjorie Tester for their work on behalf of the chamber and visitors bureau this year.

President and CEO Lisa Meadows and the chamber team do an outstanding job in representing the business community and in advancing the interests of Bristol in so many ways - economically, politically, and environmentally - on both sides of the state line.

The Chamber is a high-performance organization with a top-notch group of volunteer members and a professional staff - and our community is better off because of that.

Another good reason to live in Bristol.
