9NEWS Leader of the Year - Awards

Presented by
In partnership with the Denver Metro Chamber Leadership Foundation, 9NEWS and the Colorado Leadership Alliance, the 9NEWS Leader of the Year Award recognizes an emerging leader* who has made a significant contribution to the well-being of the Colorado community.
