WESTMONT RECOGNIZES EXCELLENCE IN THE COMMUNITY

The Westmont Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Bureau (WCCTB) originally scheduled the Annual Westmont Community Awards Dinner in April 2020 but had to cancel the event due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Later in the year, the WCCTB held individual recognition sessions for each of the award recipients. Photos of the recognitions are available in the Photo Gallery on Westmontchamber.com.
