On Sept. 13, the Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce held its 11th Annual Leadership Charlotte Hall of Fame Awards Lunch at the Charlotte Harbor Event & Conference Center.
The Leadership Charlotte Hall of Fame Award recognizes Leadership Charlotte alumni who have distinguished themselves in leadership and service to Charlotte County through civic and business leadership, philanthropy and/or service to the community or the Charlotte Chamber.
For the Leadership Class of 2024, there was a stellar slate of nominees with immense experience and leadership which made them worthy of such an honor.
The nominees were: Melissa Bergey of Gator Wilderness Camp School; Denise Dull of Peace River Community Housing Partners; Angie Hogan of Gulf Coast Partnership; David Holmes of the Farr Law Firm; Steve Lineberry of Premier Photographic Events; Jill McCrory of the McCrory Law Firm; Charlotte County Sheriff Bill Prummell; Tony Smith of Ashley, Brown & Smith CPA’s; Charlotte County Supervisor of Elections Leah Valenti; Bob White of the Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce; Nick Worden of Crews Bank & Trust.
Please help me welcome and congratulate the four recipients into the Leadership Charlotte Hall of Fame Class of 2024: Denise Dull, Angie Hogan, Jill McCrory and Sheriff Bill Prummell.
I want to extend my special thanks and appreciation to Mark Martella, of Martell Law Firm, for once again severing as our master of ceremonies for our very special event. Mark did a fabulous job introducing all the nominees and presenting the award recipients.
