The award will be given at a dinner event on Saturday, March 3, at the Sagamore Resort in Bolton Landing. A cocktail reception begins at 6 p.m. followed by the program at 7 p.m.
Also, Holly DeKleine of StreamLined Graphics will receive the ARCC Ambassador of the Year honor. This is the second year in a row that DeKleine has been honored with this award.
The ambassadors play an instrumental role in welcoming new members, reaching out to long term supporters, encouraging engagement, sharing information, supporting the events we host, celebrating ribbon cuttings, encouraging businesses to join the ARCC and more.
The Juckett Award is a prestigious community award designed to honor an individual who has “selflessly gone above and beyond by contributing time and energy to help others.”
