Annual award honors area businesswoman

The 2015 Paradigm Award luncheon is taking place this March. Hosted by the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, it recognizes women who have made contributions to the city in the way of great professional success and personal achievements.

This year, the award is being presented to Lynn Utter who is CEO and President of Knoll Office.

The event will begin with a networking reception, followed by lunch, and the award presentation. Raffle tickets will also be sold, which will benefit the Paradigm Scholarship for Working Women. Tickets cost $10 each or $20 for three.

Members of the chamber can rent a table to showcase their business, with fees set at $650 and including two tickets to the luncheon. Sponsorships can also be purchased for $1,500 or $5,000, each of which comes with a table for 10.

Local businesses can buy ads in the program that will be given to everyone in attendance. Fees are $450 for a full page and $300 for a half page advertisement. With networking opportunities present, it is very likely that many of those planning to attend this Philadelphia event will be placing a new business card printing order.

The Paradigm Award luncheon is being held in the Grand Ballroom in the Hyatt at the Bellevue on March 27 beginning at 11:00 am. Tickets are $75 for Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce members and $125 for nonmembers. Call 215-790-3654 for more information.
