La Sierra University President Lawrence T. Geraty is the 2007 Greater Riverside Chambers of Commerce Citizen of the Year. Since 1973-74 the Chamber has been naming a new Citizen of the Year and hanging their photo in a place of honor in the Chamber Board Room. Geraty will be presented with a medal for the Citizen of the Year Award March 22 at the Greater Riverside Chambers of Commerce Inaugural Celebration at the Convention Center.

“Larry Geraty represents the very best of our community,” says Nick Goldware who serves as the  “quasi” chair for the Citizens of the Year Committee for the Greater Riverside Chambers of Commerce that nominates a new recipient each year. He is also the Executive Vice President Hub International of California Insurance Services, Inc. “Larry is an involved partner who engages people, builds consensus and works to make the community better in so many ways. I can’t personally think of anyone more deserving of this than Larry Geraty.”
