A person who works tirelessly behind the scene to accomplish those tasks which grow our cities, towns and communities; making them a better place in which to live. Someone who sets the stage for things to happen and at times, donates not only their time and energy but also helps with funding community projects that otherwise might take years to accomplish or, without their help, might never materialize. 8 “A behind-the-scenes person. Most people don’t realize how much he does and continues to do for his community. He is a very generous person and believes in sharing his good fortune with others. He has a very caring attitude towards children and young adults and a commitment to education.
