Celebrating The Movers, Shakers, And Our Favorite Newsmakers...the Michigan Chronicle will host a gala to celebrate the men, women, organizations and companies who have had a most positive impact and influenced history this year!
This gala is important to the Michigan Chronicle as it allows us to headline the honored "Newsmakers" showcase their successes and profile them to inspire future leaders and/or inspire initiatives to benefit our communities in the coming years.
The men, women, organizations and companies who have been selected have pushed the envelope in terms of exceeding expectations of creativity, forward-thinking, community outreach and dedication to influencing success! Their commitment to excellence is empowering; their commitment to the community at large is impressive; and their achievements are unparalleled! These "Newsmakers" of the year will be celebrated for their contributions today...and for setting the bar for what will be tomorrow!
The Michigan Chronicle will preserve these "Newsmakers" contributions in a special commemorative section within the Michigan Chronicle newspaper to be treasured for a lifetime...
