The award was presented by President Kathy O'Neal to owner of KWCL, Ms. Irene Robinson. Others present included West Carroll Community Bank President, Mr. Lynn Hebert, Mr. Ivy Robinson, Ms. Carol Pevehouse (Young Authors Chairperson), Ms. Sherry Bradford, (NLRC Treasurer), Ms. Nita Denmon (NLRC member).
