MEET THE LOCALS MAKING OUR COMMUNITIES BETTER PLACES TO LIVE, WORK, PLAY AND THRIVE
You may not know their names, but on these pages, you’ll find a diverse group of public servants, change-makers and philanthropists, all united by their drive to make a difference. Some have thrown themselves into one close-to-their-heart cause, while others spread their efforts among a variety of worthy endeavors. Some of our heroes make the community a better, safer place through their jobs, while others devote non-work hours to fundraising and volunteering. The passion for some is born out of personal experience, while others saw a need and selflessly jumped in to help. No matter how much progress is made, though, they all recognize that there are more opportunities to serve. They are the very definition of heroes.
