The WTCGP will host its World Trade Centers Day Dinner celebration on Wednesday, May 13th at the Union League.  This signature awards dinner and networking event is held annually to celebrate the work of the over 300 World Trade Centers worldwide and to recognize individuals and companies who have a continuous positive impact on the global economic development of the Greater Philadelphia region. 

This year, we honor Rosemary Turner, vice president and chief operating officer, Metro Philadelphia Division of United Parcel Service (UPS) with the Global Business Leadership Award.  In her capacity at UPS, Ms. Turner is responsible for the company’s second largest air hub in the country, which serves an average of 160,000 customers daily, employs more than 9,000 employees and brings in revenues in excess of $755 million to our region.  The WTCGP will recognize Ms. Turner for her contribution to the expansion of commerce and development of global partnerships in the Greater Philadelphia region.

The WTCGP is also please to recognize our Member Companies of the Year for 2009: LCR Electronics, Inc. in Pennsylvania and Holt Logistics in New Jersey.
