Jessica Annas, the Senior Vice President of Marketing at Meridian Bank and a member of the 2021 Class of VISTA Millennial Superstars, will be the keynote speaker at the VMS Awards Reception & Celebration on Thursday, May 9 at the Penn State Great Valley Conference Center.

This year marks the fifth anniversary of VISTA Millennial Superstars, a program VISTA Today created to identify and honor Chester County’s most dynamic business and professional leaders, under the age of 40, who are shaping the county’s bright future.

VISTA Today will begin revealing the 2024 Class of VISTA Millennial Superstars on Tuesday, Feb. 27. Profiles of the honorees will be published beginning March 25.

“It was an honor to be recognized as a VISTA Millennial Superstar in 2021, and I’ve enjoyed following all the high-caliber honorees that have been part of this program in Chester County and beyond,” said Annas, who graduated from Penn State with a bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism. “I am thrilled to be welcomed back to speak at this year’s event!”

The VMS Awards Reception & Celebration is a vibrant gathering of innovators, leaders, and changemakers in the community. It has annually drawn 400-plus guests — the majority of whom are business owners, senior executives, middle managers, and decision-makers at local businesses, nonprofits, universities, and government organizations — and has become the premier networking event in Chester County.

A portion of the proceeds from this year’s event will benefit Home of the Sparrow, an Exton-based nonprofit that partners with women facing homelessness to secure housing, achieve long-term stability, and chart new paths for their futures.

Sponsors are still being sought for the VMS Awards Reception & Celebration. A sponsorship offers unparalleled networking opportunities, enhances your organization’s visibility, and aligns you with a celebration of excellence and innovation.
