Notable Moments: As always, the presentation included some incredible quotes form the honorees. Accepting the award for John McCain was his son, Jack McCain, who spoke about lessons learned from his father: “You cannot have leadership without trust – that’s the fundamental cornerstone of all leadership.” He also shared advice from his father that he’ll pass on to his son: “Always serve a cause greater than your self-interest … that’s probably the best advice that you can give anybody.”
From honoree Ken Schutz on advice for how to get engaged in the community: “Think about how you can help and not wait until you’re asked – be proactive … don’t be shy about promoting yourself in fulfillment of that greater cause.”
From Karrin Taylor Robson on advice for how to get engaged in the community: “Wake up tomorrow and decide you’re going to do it. We all have it in us, we all have a responsibility to give back … just do it.”
