The Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the city of Santa Clarita, announced nominations are officially open for their annual ‘Salute to Patriots’ event.

Nominations are open starting Oct. 1 and will close on Oct. 21. The SCV Chamber will recognize Veterans who have not only served our Country but have made an impact on the SCV business community. The event is scheduled for, Nov. 9th at 4 p.m. at The SCV Senior Center at Bella Vida.

“The SCV Chamber takes great pride in being able to honor our Veterans every year and to highlight different individuals each year who have not only served our country, but our business community as well,” said Dr. Christian Raigosa, Chair of the SCV Chamber Board. “Our annual Salute to Patriots is a heartful event. We understand the value of this event for our Veterans, their families, and our full community.”

Salute to Patriots is a way to honor and pay special tribute to our Veterans. Their stories and experiences, not just during their service, but their community engagement, instill strong values and beliefs throughout the Santa Clarita Valley.

“Our annual event is a truly unique opportunity to show our recognition and respect for those whose service at the community and national level bring so much good into our lives; service that sometimes goes unrecognized,” said Ivan Volschenk, President/CEO of the SCV Chamber. “We hope community members consider nominating and spending the afternoon with us as we honor the impact of these extraordinary individuals.”

Nominations are open to all who have served our country and made an impact on the Santa Clarita Valley business community.
