Five new laureates will soon be part of the Greater Johnstown Cambria County Business Hall of Fame.
On Thursday, organizers announced the names for the 34th annual event.
Honorees include the late James Brett, William Harris, F. Nicholas Jacobs, Linda Thomson and the late George Zamias.
Co-sponsored by the Cambria Regional Chamber and Junior Achievement of Western PA, the Business Hall of Fame was established in 1992.
Organizers said the goal is to honor those who have made significant contributions to the local economy and have improved the community.
Thomson, who worked for JARI for 25 years, said she is honored to join others from the organization who are in the Hall of Fame.
She said, “So, for me, it’s such a huge thing to be able to say that I’m now part of that, and that hopefully I did them proud, because I really wanted to be; I wanted to do the best job I could for the people that came before me and the leadership that came before me and I just think they would be very pleased.”
The Business Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24 at the Frank J. Pasquerilla Conference Center in Johnstown.
