The next 30 members of the newest Leadership Hopkinsville-Christian County have been announced, and the program has also given out some awards.
At a ceremony on Thursday, the Leadership in Action Award was presented to Lucas Stagner, and the Legacy of Leadership Award was awarded to both Ruth Lynch and Sandy Grogan.
