An evening of celebration, inspiration, and community impact as we honored the 2025 Leadership UA cohort and announced this year’s grant recipients.
We were honored to celebrate our 2025 Leadership UA cohort and hear inspiring words from Upper Arlington City Council President Ukeme Awakessien Jeter, as our keynote speaker. Her thoughtful words about leadership, service, and the power of community reminded us all why this program matters. We were also joined by UACF Board Member and community leader, Laurie Aquilina, who shared inspiring words with the recent graduates.
During this special evening, we proudly announced the grant recipients from this year’s class session, organizations doing incredible work in our community:
Common Greens (UA Farmers Market)
Upper Arlington Historical Society
Rainbow UA
Tri-Village Packers
Thank you to everyone who joined us in recognizing the next generation of leaders and supporting these outstanding local groups! To our graduates, thank you for showing up for our city and one another. We can’t wait to see where your leadership journey takes you!
