Do a little dance, eat a little brunch, get down for disco!

This year’s program will recognize the following individuals: Volunteer of the Year, Nonprofit Employee of the Year, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advocate of the Year, Emerging Leader of the Year. The community will also vote on a People’s Choice winner to be awarded during our program.
