Our sincerest thank you to the more than 650 of the region’s most accomplished leaders from the business, government, and nonprofit sectors that made this year's LGW Celebration of Leadership the largest celebration of diverse, cross-sector changemakers in our region. And thank you to our sponsors and partners for helping us make this event a smashing success.
Congratulations once more to Howard W. Stone, Jr. ('96), the much-deserved 2024 Leader of the Years, and we can't wait to see you all next year!
