Along with St. Clair College's 50th anniversary, its president has another reason to celebrate.
Patti France has been named the recipient of the Athena Award which honours women leaders.
France took over as president of the college in September 2015.
Speaking on AM800's the Morning Drive, France says the award also recognizes how important St. Clair College is to the community.
"I'm truly honoured and humbled by the award and grateful for the chamber's recognition," said France. "From my perspective, it also honours St.Clair College which is really important and demonstrates all the work the college does and how important the community is to St. Clair."
The Athena Award announcement was part of the Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards Finalists.
The awards will be handed out April 19, 2017 at Caesars Windsor.
