This year’s program honored individuals and organizations whose leadership strengthens communities across the region:
The event also featured a special tribute and presentation honoring Congressman Dwight Evans, recognizing his longstanding service, leadership, and commitment to strengthening Philadelphia’s communities.
Attendees received greetings from Council President Kenyatta Johnson, on behalf of the City of Philadelphia, and a video message from Governor Josh Shapiro, celebrating UAC’s legacy and regional impact.
The morning highlighted UAC’s enduring commitment to partnership, community investment, and collective action—bringing together leaders across sectors to reflect on progress and look ahead at the work still to come.
