Welcome
Outstanding Logan County citizens and businesses receive recognition at the Logan County Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Membership Meeting and Awards Banquet last week.
“This year’s group of award recipients is one word, phenomenal,” said Jared Sonnenberg, Logan County Chamber president. “Logan County and this community would not be what it is without the people being honored tonight; they symbolize not only what it means to be part of community, but have the community be part of you.”
The Citizen of the Year award is given for outstanding leadership, commitment and service to the cultural and economic health and welfare of Logan County. This award goes to someone who has demonstrated support to Logan County through significant contributions including time, volunteerism, financial donations, in-kind donations or the involvement and promotion of programs and projects that truly make a difference in Logan County.
This year’s recipients were Chris and Joy Dinsdale.
“They are neighbors and friends to Logan County and its citizens,” Sonnenberg said. “This husband and wife team is steadfastly dedicated to this town and community and certainly deserving of this award.”
He said they are people of action, doing in many cases what other people aren’t capable of doing for themselves.
“This is very generous, thank you very much,” Joy said. “This award is especially gratifying to us to because it was awarded by you, our peers and our community.”
The Business Person of the Year award is presented to an outstanding individual who has demonstrated exceptional leadership, dedication, time and service to Logan County and support of the Chamber. Someone who has demonstrated outstanding leadership ability and has visibly contributed to the success of programs that benefit Logan County, both personally and through his/her business.
This year’s recipient was Dr. Jennifer Goble, counselor and owner of the Old Library Inn.
“This year’s recipient definitely fits the description of philanthropic business person,” Sonnenberg said. “Her voluntary and financial support of service groups and her dedication to excellence in her own business are just fragments of how deeply this person has touched the community.”
Goble said she was humbled and honored to receive the award.
“I don’t think I deserve this any more than all of you in this room, but I thank you very much,” she said.
The Volunteer/Diplomat of the Year award is given in appreciation for exceptional leadership, dedication, time and service to the Logan County Chamber. This award is given to someone who has generously contributed time, talent and energy to Chamber activities, events, projects and committees and contributed to the success of furthering the mission of the Chamber and Logan County.
This year’s recipient was Elda Lousberg.
“As an outstanding lady, this person always takes the extra step,” said Kim Sellers, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce.
She also said Lousberg is always there to lend a helping hand.
“I’m really honored and humbled to receive this award,” Lousberg said. “I believe in Logan County and the Logan County Chamber of Commerce.”
The Business of the Year award is given in appreciation for outstanding support, exceptional leadership and recognition of service to Logan County and the Chamber. This award is given to a business that has demonstrated support to the Chamber and the community through significant contributions including time, financial donations, in-kind donations or the involvement and promotion of programs and projects.
This year’s recipient was Wells Fargo Bank.
“The business who is awarded this award is truly a role model for the business community,” Sellers said. “They take great pride in being not just a bank in town, but being a member of our community.”
