Stakeholders to Honor Community Volunteers

The Stakeholders, Inc. has announced the winners of the 2017 Community IMPACT Awards designed to recognize companies, organizations and individuals who have provided exemplary volunteer services in New York’s Capital Region.

Two hundred Capital Region business and community leaders are expected to gather to honor the 2017 honorees, starting at 5:30pm with a lavish networking cocktail party, followed by the Oscar-style award show at 6:30 pm (minus the long-winded speeches!). Hosted by Robert Clancy, owner of Spiral Design Studio and author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Soul, the ceremony will be enhanced by performances from area bands and other musical groups.
