“Each individual and station being honored this year has invested immeasurably in the local business, community groups, schools and charitable enterprises that are advancing our state in the 21st Century.

“Their work serves as an example to us all and inspires the entire industry to redouble our commitment to serving our communities at the highest possible level.”
