2026 Excellence in Education Banquet

The GLLV Chamber will host the 32nd Annual Excellence in Education Banquet to recognize outstanding area 2026 graduates from Derry Area, Greater Latrobe, and Eastern Westmoreland Career & Technology Center.This program salutes the top 5% of the graduating seniors in our local school districts, and will be held on Monday, May 18th, 5:30 p.m. at DeNunzio’s Italian Chophouse – Arnold Palmer Regional Airport.
 
Our student honorees are asked to invite a teacher (from grades K - 12) who has made a positive difference in their educational achievement, to join us for this event.
 
In order to make this program possible and demonstrate the support of local business and industry in our scholars, we are seeking sponsorships from local firms. A $200 sponsor fee will cover the cost of one student honoree, a teacher, one representative from your firm, plus some of the incidental costs associated with the banquet.

 
Your contribution to the Greater Latrobe-Laurel Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce supports not only this banquet, but all the programs conducted in local schools by the Chamber's Economic Education Committee.
 
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at 724-537-2671 or via email (briana@gllv.org).
 
Thank you for your consideration and your support of this great community tradition!
