Leadership Everyone’s Celebration of Leadership Awards [Watch]

The coronavirus tried to stop Leadership Everyone's 25th Annual Celebration of Leadership Awards, but they found a way for the show to go on. Nominees and award winners were recognized in a televised special on WNIN.

We live in such a community-oriented area. I love the amount of people and organizations that are doing good things everyday. The Celebration of Leadership will air again on WNIN on Sunday, July 5, at 4:00 pm and Wednesday, July 8, at 11:00 pm.
