2021 Community Awards Honorees

While we are sad we couldn't all come together for our annual breakfast, we are still so glad to have been able to celebrate our 2021 Community Awards honorees in pandemic-safe ways.

Last week we had the pleasure of teaming up with LocalBuzz.co to deliver trophies to many of this years honorees at places that are special to them. Check out all of the 2-minute videos to see us present the awards and hear the honorees talk about their community impact. Video links are below along with the Spotlight Columns and Q&A interviews we've been sharing with you throughout October. Help us celebrate their work by following us Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn and sharing the award posts.

Thank you so our sponsors and partners who made these awards possible!
