Each month, Lee’s Summit CARES shines a spotlight on individuals in our community who embody outstanding character and integrity. These honorees are nominated by people who know them best—you—and are recognized for exemplifying the traits we value most.
Whether it’s kindness, leadership, resilience, or compassion, we celebrate those who lead by example and inspire others through their everyday actions.
All monthly nominees will be considered for special recognition at the annual Mayor’s Character Breakfast, where select individuals will be honored by the Character Council for their lasting impact on our community.
Know someone who deserves the spotlight? Nominate them today and help us celebrate the heart of our community!
In addition, each year, the Annual Mayor’s Character Breakfast celebrates individuals and organizations who uplift our community through extraordinary service and unwavering character. Among these honors, the Carl Chinnery Ethics in Business Award stands as a tribute to the enduring impact of ethical leadership and integrity in Lee’s Summit’s business community.
