"Connecting leaders to effect change"

The Leadership Montgomery Unity Award was created to recognize partnerships that have reached across cultural lines, enhanced our quality of life, and made Montgomery a community for us all.

The award was precipitated by the successful efforts of Leadership Montgomery Founders Lanny Crane, George Goodwyn, Sr., J.M. "Mike" Jenkins, and Solomon Seay to partner with other individuals to make our community a better place for all its citizens.

Kym Klass, Keynote Speaker for the event, was presented the inaugural Lantern Award.
