The Mount Kisco Chamber of Commerce is proud to honor James A. Diamond as our 2008 Citizen of the Year and Diamond Properties as the Outstanding Business of the Year.
Jim Diamond, CEO and co-founder of Diamond Properties has become a wonderful friend to Mount Kisco by donating Soccer fields for our children to play on and by the generosity Jim has shown to many of Mt. Kisco’s organizations. Jim and Diamond Properties have created business opportunities for many of our established businesses by making substantial investments in our Village by purchasing, renovating, and improving office buildings and industrial properties. Diamond Properties has also worked with our Village and DOT to improve roadways and install traffic lights. Diamond Properties is a welcomed partner to our beautiful Village.
Susan Ostrofsky, Principal at Mt. Kisco Elementary School is our Outstanding Educator of the Year. Mrs. Ostrofsky has worked in the Bedford Central School District since 1994, becoming Principal of MKES in 2004. Sue believes that the staff at MKES chooses to work in the school for two reasons – the children and the community. She has said, “There is something special about MKES that one can only experience by actually being in the school itself. It is the spirit of family, teamwork and the simple appreciation that one person can make a tremendous difference in the life of a child!” What better way to honor the community of Mt. Kisco than honoring our children’s leader, Mrs. Susan Ostrofsky!
The Award Ceremony and Dinner Dance will be held at Grand Prix New York on Thursday, May 15, 2008. For ticket information, please contact the Chamber office at 914-666-7525.
