LEGACY Honorees

Our Honoree segment shines a spotlight on extraordinary individuals whose careers and contributions exemplify legacy in action. These leaders build businesses that create jobs, shift culture, and empower communities. Past honorees include: Monique Rodriguez of Mielle Organics, Dr. Boyce Watkins, Kim Foxx (Illinois State’s Attorney), Louis Carr (Leadership Award winner, 2024)and the late Tammera Holmes (posthumous tribute, aerospace & youth empowerment).  Their stories serve as powerful reminders that legacy is not just what you leave behind—it is what you build every day.



2026 Honorees will be announced soon!
