Riverbend Growth Association State of the RiverBend Luncheon

This year’s Growth Association State of the RiverBend Luncheon brought together a variety of people all of whom shared the goal of improving the area we know as the river bend.  Municipal representatives and leaders in business, finance, healthcare and non-profit providers of aid to the less fortunate were represented.

In addition to informing the gathering of progress made over the last year, the RBGA uses the occasion to recognize businesses and municipalities that have significantly contributed to the region through their economic and/or community involvement.

The 2014 Captain of the Riverbend awardees honored were Cope Plastics, Inc., CNB Bank & Trust, N.A., Scott Credit Union, Village of East Alton and Village of Godfrey.  They all received an elegant award recognizing their specific contributions along with a ceremonial captain’s hat bearing the RBGA crest.

Monica Bristow acted as Master of Ceremony, Growth Association Chairman of the Board John Keller describe how each recipient distinguished themselves in the eyes of the Awards Committee.
