During the dinner, NEPA presented the NEPA Alliance Regional Leadership Award. The award is presented to an agency, group or individual demonstrating a significant contribution to regional growth, development or cooperation within the seven county NEPA region. This year’s award recipients were the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders and the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins for their impact on the regional economy and involvement in the regional community of Northeastern Pennsylvania.
This year’s Keynote speaker was Denny Corby, Corporate Speaker, Entertainer & Mentalist. Denny’s performance engaged the crowd with magic and humor to the delight of all in attendance.
