2025 Salute to Leaders

Description

Back in 2025! 

Since its founding, the United States has been recognized worldwide for its culture of volunteerism, a tradition that built the nation and continues to thrive in Clermont County. 

Returning again for 2025 and celebrating the 31st year, the Salute to Leaders Awards honors volunteer citizens, groups, and leaders for their significant contributions to the Clermont County community. These volunteers are often unsung heroes who seek no reward or recognition, yet their efforts make Clermont County a better place for all. 

The Honorees for each community are chosen by the individual township and city representatives. They are given to outstanding individuals and groups who have made a positive impact on their communities.

The Honorees in the categories for county-wide awards are nominated by the public. The winners are determined by the Clermont Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Salute to Leaders event committee. 

The Salute to Leaders winners will be celebrated at a dinner and awards ceremony on April 9, 2025, at the Oasis Conference Center in Loveland.
