Chamber 2021 Salute to Business award winners
Entrepreneurs of the Year – Holly and Jeff Swartz, co-owners, Personal Protected

James Tressel, president of Youngstown State University.
“We feel blessed that we have this opportunity to really make our employees and our students and our community confident, because all of these people going onto campus are going back into the community, so we want to make sure they go back into the community very safe.”

Tom Yazvac, Superintendent Springfield Local Schools
"First of all , just by the design of this quad station, it keeps everybody socially distant so kids can move quickly, 20 seconds to wash their hands, grab a towel and move on, so kids can move through quickly while maintaining proper distance...Hand-washing never goes out of style. Pandemic or not, we have to keep hand washing, so we’ll be using these long after the pandemic leaves us."

Jim Bird, CEO Boys and Girls Club of Youngstown
"This simple act of kindness is going to go a long way in keeping our kids safe as we continue to navigate the COVID health crisis and do whatever it takes to build great futures."

Mi’a Toomer, student at Youngstown State University
“This is showing us that the simplest things can make a big difference in our community and can make a big difference for the safety of others.”

Alyse Consiglio, principal Warren JFK
"We have one in our dining hall. It's literally INDISPENSIBLE for getting all the kids to wash their hands and get through the lunch line. Best purchase of 2020!"
