This morning the Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce had the privilege of holding our annual Veterans Breakfast, sponsored by CACL Financial, at the Orwigsburg Veterans Community Memorial Hall.

We were honored to welcome over 200 veterans for a morning of breakfast, recognition, and reflection as we came together to celebrate the men and women who have served our country.

The program included the recognition of our military branches and a special WWI Gold Star Presentation honoring the Morrison and Moore Families. We were also honored to hear from our keynote speaker, Major General (Ret.) Laura McHugh of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, who shared her experiences and dedication to a lifetime of service.

Thank you to CACL Financial, Hess Catering, the Orwigsburg Borough, and everyone who helped make this morning possible.

To all of our Veterans, thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your unwavering commitment to our country. We are honored to recognize you and will forever be grateful for the freedoms you have fought to protect. From all of us at the Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce, you have our deepest respect and heartfelt gratitude.🇺🇸

When complete, the plan will serve as a practical guide for the future - helping the County and its many partners prioritize projects, enhance connections between parks and trails, protect important landscapes, and expand recreation opportunities that benefit both residents and visitors.

The Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce that it has earned the prestigious PACP Accredited Chamber designation from the Pennsylvania Association of Chamber Professionals (PACProfessionals), becoming just the fourth chamber in Pennsylvania to achieve this distinction. The Chamber was formally recognized during the Awards Ceremony at the 2026 PACP Chamber Professionals & Leadership Conference, held October 26–28 at the Penn Harris Hotel in Camp Hill, PA.

The PACP Accredited Chamber Program is one of the association's highest honors, recognizing chambers of commerce that demonstrate excellence in organizational management, operations, and leadership. Modeled after the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's accreditation program, the PACP program establishes standards of organizational excellence and provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating a chamber's effectiveness and overall operations.

To earn accreditation, chambers undergo a thorough organizational assessment and must demonstrate that they meet established standards of excellence. Applications are evaluated by an examining committee, with accreditation awarded only to those chambers that successfully meet the program's criteria.

“Earning accreditation from the Pennsylvania Association of Chamber Professionals is a meaningful milestone for the Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce and the business community we serve,” said Robert S. Carl, Jr., president & CEO, Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce. “This designation reflects our commitment to high standards in leadership, operations, and member service. Our members and partners count on us to be a strong advocate and a trusted resource, and we will continue working every day to help Schuylkill County grow and thrive.”

With this achievement, the Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce joins an exclusive group of PACP Accredited Chambers, including the Greene County Chamber of Commerce, Indiana County Chamber of Commerce, and Columbia Montour Chamber of Commerce.

This recognition reflects the dedication of the Schuylkill Chamber's leadership, staff, and Board of Directors to maintaining high standards of organizational excellence and delivering meaningful value to its members and the greater Schuylkill County business community.

The symposium brought together employers, educators, workforce development organizations, and community leaders to discuss the challenges facing Pennsylvania’s workforce and explore practical solutions for businesses across our region.

Topics included the state economy and workforce development, how PA CareerLink can support businesses, inclusive hiring, tax credits and special accommodations, the child care crisis and its impact on working families and employers, and bridging the skills gap, and workplace safety.
