Since 1994, Clermont 20/20 Inc., has been recognizing leaders throughout the county and on Thursday, Feb. 25, the 17th Annual Salute to Leaders Award Celebration was held at Eastgate Holiday Inn.

Those recognized were selected from each township in Clermont County for their unselfish service and their contributions to their communities.

“Salute to Leaders is also an important opportunity to underscore the vital role volunteers play in helping to build a stronger Clermont County,” said Andy McCreanor, executive director of Clermont 20/20. “As volunteers, leaders and citizens who believe in the potential and sustainability of Clermont County, they have a direct impact on the quality of life we all enjoy.”
