Super 60 Honorees Reflect Success, Growth, Civic Commitment
The Springfield Regional Chamber (SRC) recently announced the 2024 winners of its annual Super 60 awards program, hon- oring 60 businesses and nonprofits across five distinct categories. They will be hon- ored at a luncheon on Friday, Nov. 8 at the MassMutu- al Center in Springfield.
For more than 30 years, the Super 60 awards have honored the accomplishments of successful and growing businesses that call the Greater Springfield area home. Last year, the Super 60 program was rei- magined and expanded. In addition to the traditional categories of Revenue and Growth, the Springfield Regional Chamber added three new categories to cel- ebrate additional measures of success.
The Start-Up category recognizes businesses that have achieved remarkable success during their early
years of operation, the Give Back category recognizes businesses that made significant contributions to local communities and organizations, and the Non-Profit category recognizes organizations that have displayed selfless dedication to serving the community through exceptional programming and support.
This year’s winners represent numerous com- munities across myriad industries, including dining, automotive, manufacturing, finance, sports, and many more.
“We are thrilled to celebrate the incredible diver- sity and innovation within our business community through this year’s Super 60 program,” said Diana Szynal, president of the Springfield Regional Cham- ber. “Small businesses are the heart and soul of
our region, and we’re excited to celebrate so many nonprofits that make a difference in our community.
It’s more important than ever to shine a light on the accomplishments and unwavering resilience of our local businesses and nonprofits. I look forward to hon- oring these incredibly deserving organizations at our Super 60 luncheon on November 8.”
The keynote speaker at the luncheon will be Tania Barber, president and CEO of Caring Health Center, which, under her guidance, operates five primary-care sites across the region, employing 266 profession-
als who provide healthcare services to about 28,000 patients.
Super 60 sponsors include Health New England, WWLP-22 News, Stand Out Truck, Florence Bank, Keiter Corp., the Republican, and Paylocity. Visit springfieldregionalchamber.com to reserve a seat at the luncheon. BW
