Each year, Leadership Johnson County selects leaders for their contributions to our community. LJC presents these recognitions at our annual Signature Program graduation ceremony.
Diane Black
Servant Leader Award
The award was created because Diane Black exemplifies servant leadership. She was a member of the first graduating class of Leadership Johnson County in 1995. She went on to serve the organization as the program coordinator for five years.
Diane has served Johnson County through her involvement in various organizations including Community Congregational Church, Franklin Community School Board, Johnson County Extension Board, Franklin City Technical Committee, Franklin Chamber Task Force, Johnson County Public Library, Johnson County Community Foundation Scholarship Committee, and the Leadership Johnson County Alumni Association.
Leadership Johnson County and the Johnson County community are much richer because of the legacy that Diane Black has brought and continues to bring to our community.
A monetary award of up to $500 to be utilized by the recipient toward fulfilling or assisting with the ongoing program or project described in the application. The selection committee may name multiple recipients, in which case the monetary award would be divided among the award winners.
