Chamber of Commerce to honor Chancellor Moeser
The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce will award Chancellor James Moeser with the Duke Energy Citizenship and Service Award today.
Past recipients of the award include state Rep. Joe Hackney and Robert Dowling, executive director of the Orange Community Housing and Land Trust.
The recipient must demonstrate a key set of values, including integrity, initiative and accountability. Aaron Nelson, the chamber's president and CEO, said that Moeser embodies each of those traits.
"I could go through a whole list of reasons he deserves the award, from the Carolina Covenant to his citizenship in the community," he said.
Nelson said the award was created as a tribute to valuable individuals or groups around southern Orange County.
