League Presents Awards Given in Recognition of Great Work

Outstanding Citizen(s) Award for 2020

The League of Women Voters of Columbia-Boone County presented its Outstanding Citizen Award for 2020 to two people this year: to Stephanie Browning, director of the Columbia/Boone County Public Health Department and Scott Clardy, assistant director, in recognition of their outstanding leadership and exhaustive efforts toward making our community safe in the face of a one hundred year pandemic.

Liz Schmidt Community Service Award for 2020

The League presented the Liz Schmidt Community Service Award for 2020 to the “Vote Team Boone and the Boone County Clerk’s Office”, in recognition of the outstanding and new and creative ways that, under the direction of Brianna Lennon, County Clerk, were used to make sure everyone could vote safely and securely in the November 3, 2020 election. This was in the face of a one hundred year pandemic and complicated changes in the Missouri election law.

The Awards were presented at the recent “virtual” Founders Day Event of the League on December 11, 2020.
