The 24th Annual Celebration Of Leadership Was AMAZING

T! With over 1600 attendees, it was our BIGGEST YEAR EVER! We honored 175 nominees, giving 40 awards to servant leaders in our community. See the list of amazing recipients below! At the end of the evening, Lynn announced our name change to Leadership Everyone! Past and present board members came on stage, and a beautiful video from EXTEND GROUP. was played, highlighting LE’s diversity and inclusion over the past 41 years. “The name describes what happened at Celebration of Leadership this year—everyone was represented.  But it also describes the amazing inclusive work we have been doing with everyone, every year, every time!  ‘Leadership Everyone’ describes servant leadership at its best and it sets our region apart as one of the most collaborative and visionary communities, based on Leadership Everyone’s mission: ‘Diverse servant leaders transforming community.’  One short video says it all.” Our web page is now live. Please hang on tight as our social media pages and emails get updated!
