Why do you believe the local hero should be recognized or honored?

She is positive and full of energy and everyone that interacts with her always leaves with a smile on their face!!

She does so much for everyone she works with, without any recognition or awards. She has a soft spot for the individuals who need just a little more guidance and structure than everyone else. She brings that each and every day!!

Thank you for all you do, Charlene Flagg!
