The Life Trustee Awards Trinity is a unified recognition that honors individuals whose leadership is shaping Greater Akron through service, vision, and lasting impact. First introduced in 2024, the Life Trustee Awards Trinity brings together three of Leadership Akron’s highest honors: the Read Family Difference Maker Award, the Lieberth Community Vision Award, and the Maynard Distinguished Leader Award. “Each of these leaders reflects the kind of community-rooted leadership Greater Akron needs – courageous, collaborative, and committed to lifting others,” said Justin Hilton, President & CEO of Leadership Akron. “Their work deepens relationships, sparks progress, and embodies the values that keep our region moving forward.”
