NRV Leading Lights Annual Report 2017-2018

From the Board: stories of service drive our work For ten years, NRV Leading Lights has honored and acknowledged volunteers across our region, and this work continues to drive each Board member. Distinguished Recognitions were given in the following categories: High School (2), Collegiate (2), Floyd County (1), Giles County (1), Montgomery County (2), Pulaski County (1), Radford City (1), and Lifetime Achievement (1). Also this year, our volunteer Board raised a total of $20,695 from more than 70 different sources, including individuals, businesses, nonprofits, civic clubs, foundations, colleges, and universities. Our work would not be possible without your generosity and support year after year - thank you. Our expenses totaled $17,214, with our banquet making up nearly 50% of our expenses. Other expenses included a total of $6,000 in funds given to this year’s Distinguised Leading Lights. Each Distinguished Leading Light chose a local nonprofit meaningful to them as the recipient of these funds (donations). As you read through this report, above all, we hope that you take away this: each of us owes a debt of gratitude to all those who serve our community.
