The Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce (SCV Chamber) announced Monday a virtual “Salute to Patriots.”

The event is set to be held virtually by the Chamber of Commerce and take place on Nov. 11 and the weeks leading up to Veteran’s Day, recognizing veterans who have impacted the SCV business community.

“The SCV Chamber takes great pride in being able to honor our Veterans every year and highlight different individuals… who have not only served our country, but our business community as well,” said Nancy Starczyck, chair of the SCV Chamber Board, in a statement. “With our current situation, the Chamber has been working diligently to ensure this event still occurs, no matter the format”.

Representatives from the SCV Chamber and Veterans Collaborative will visit each of the honorees to present their award and record a video message as the awardee tells his or her story. Video messages will be shown daily leading up to Veteran’s Day. They will then be broadcast as a full program on Wednesday, Nov. 11.

The video messages and full program can be viewed through the Chamber and KHTS’ social media pages as well as on SCVTV at 5:30 p.m.

Ivan Volschenk, managing partner at Evolve Business Strategies, which manages the SCV Chamber said that event organizers have “been working tirelessly to make sure we still provide programs for our business community, no matter the situation we are in.” Additionally, Volschenk said that event organizers “have put pen to paper to bring a unique format, which will still allow us to recognize our community’s Veterans.”

Andy Gump is the Title Sponsor for this year’s event.

Nominations are open from Tuesday, Sept. 1 to Wednesday, Sept. 30. Anyone actively running for office in the 2020 election cycle is not eligible for nomination.

Program sponsorships and nomination forms can be accessed by emailing SCV Chamber here.
