“Covington thrives because we’re blessed with volunteers who, without a second thought, give time and energy to helping others, said Shannon Ratterman, Program Director of Community Development at The Center. “It’s just what they do.”

CGN notes past winners have:

• Clearly shown concern for others.
• Demonstrated the ability and willingness to bring people together to facilitate positive change.

“Often these people work without regard for credit, but we just want to call attention to them and their work because as a way to express gratitude and, hopefully, inspire others to become involved in Covington,” Ratterman said.
