for the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission's
9th Annual Celebration of Regional Excellence.

This year we will be honoring four programs and one individual who have significantly contributed to the unique character of the Delaware Valley. Each represents the best in his or her respective fields - the best in volunteer and professional accomplishment, in ecofriendly approaches,
in progressive thinking, and in futuristic development.

They stood out among a host of nominees for these awards.

We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity to applaud our honorees accomplishments, network with your peers at the evening's reception, and enjoy a delicious dinner as only the Four Seasons
can deliver.

We recognize that this year has presented a number of challenges but we hope that if you plan to attend one event this spring you choose to make DVRPC's Celebration that one special night out.
