About the Awards
This longstanding Chamber tradition celebrates the accomplishments of our members throughout the past year, and we are proud to present the 2023 winners.
The CCCBI Corporate Citizen of the Year will be awarded to Independence Blue Cross (Independence). This award recognizes an organization that has taken on a substantial community initiative and has had a major impact on their industry through professional and community involvement. For 85 years, Independence has worked to enhance the health and well-being of the communities it serves. This commitment includes sponsoring community traditions throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania focused on good health and providing thousands of hours of volunteer assistance each year through the company’s active Blue Crew corporate volunteer program. It also includes supporting grass-roots organizations addressing the greatest health care challenges through the Independence Blue Cross Foundation. In 2023, Independence was named for the third straight year to The Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia, an honor bestowed by the Philadelphia Foundation, in partnership with Points of Light and local partners, to recognize the region’s most community-minded employers.
The CCCBI Executive of the Year will be awarded to Maureen Tomoschuk, President & CEO of Community Volunteers in Medicine (CVIM). This award recognizes a C-Level Executive Leader of a company who has had a significant impact during the year or who has shown steadfast leadership to their company and community on an ongoing basis. Community Volunteers in Medicine provides free medical and dental care, behavioral health services, and medications for low-income, uninsured workers and their families. Under Maureen’s leadership, it has become a pillar of compassion and dedication to the Chester County Community. They have seen an increase in the number of patients seen and the number of volunteers that contribute to the organization’s success. Despite the operating budget being supported entirely by a generous community of philanthropic individuals, foundations, corporations, faith-based organizations and civic groups, Maureen has led CVIM to financial stability in the pursuit of providing compassionate and quality healthcare.
