In honoring our community leaders, we are celebrating their dedication, their innovation, and their embodiment of leadership that drives both personal success and the success of those around them. These leaders have demonstrated an ongoing commitment to creating an equitable and inclusive community and continually contribute to a shared vision of economic success.
