Enlighten Award:
The ENLIGHTEN Award honors an individual or company who has looked to fill the educational needs serving our community that will support resiliency for Schoharie County. This person or group thinks outside of the box and builds creative bridges from real-world problems to long term solutions. The ENLIGHTEN Awardee may also be the champion of an informal cause or an intellectual movement.

The ASPIRE Award was created to recognize an individual or organization that has ascended or transcended in their industry. This individual or group exemplifies best-practice efforts through demonstrated success and is inherently innovative. Always looking to instill hope, the ASPIRE Awardee fosters growth through their commitment to their craft, company and community prosperity.
