Submitted by the Bedford Chamber of Commerce
The Bedford Chamber of Commerce held its Annual Dinner & Celebration last week at the Doubletree Bedford Glen Hotel.
It was a jam-packed room when the Chamber honored several business people and residents for their contributions in 2018.
The Business of the Year winner, Instrumentation Laboratory, was honored for a program they put on for the John Glenn Middle School last fall. Over 40 students spent the afternoon touring the manufacturing facility and learning about opportunities in the healthcare field.
Julie McCay Turner was recognized as Business Person of the Year for her work and dedication in helping to found The Bedford Citizen nearly 7 years ago. In her acceptance speech, Julie said “In telling Bedford’s story, it’s all about you – the many people together who make the community. We are all inextricably linked and The Citizen is so proud to join you as part of this amazing community.”
One of the highlights of the evening was the presentation of the Chamber’s newest award, Outstanding Service to the Community. Longtime resident and BHS Alum, Jeff Hoyland was recognized for his thousands of photographs of Bedford athletic and community events.
Other awards winners were Miriana Spencer – Ray of Hope; Callahan’s Karate – Diversity Award; and Josh Franklin – Outstanding Service to the Chamber.
