Reed, Jr., in honor of his 50th Pastoral Anniversary, which will be celebrated in March of this year. Previous award recipients include: Federal District Court Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange, former State Representative Kevin Cox, former State Senators Judy Eason McIntyre, Angela Monson, E. Melvin Porter, the late Clara Luper, and the late Dr. Ernest L. Holloway.
Nominations will be accepted beginning January 6, 2013 and ending at 5:00pm on January 25, 2013. Late nominations will not be accepted. Members of the community are encouraged to submit nominations.
