The GRC will recognize the following honorees at this year's dinner:

The selection of Business of the Year uses specific criteria of outstanding community support, involvement and leadership in the community. Our recognition of Rostraver Shop-n-Save, Duritza family, is of a business that truly represents family and community. The Duritza family started in the grocery business in 1973 and now owns 11 grocery stores, providing employment and economic growth in Western PA and West Virginia.
Jamie St. Clair Davis is our Young Professional of the Year for her success as an entrepreneur who started her business, Salon Eye Candy, in 2012 and has shown tremendous growth and sustainability in just a few short years while balancing raising a young family.
Recognizing Kate Crawford for her outstanding community service was made easy because of her passion and involvement in the organizations that are personally close to her and have touched her life in so many aspects. Always giving of her time, treasure and talent, Kate is one amazing person deserving of this recognition.
