The SFVBJ recognized that there is a core group of engaged and impactful leaders who consistently make things happen in the area. They sought to create a guidebook that lists the people who are shaping their communities.
According to Charles Crumpley, Editor and Publisher of the SFVBJ, "This book is a nod of appreciation to those who are strengthening our community, making it the place we want to live and creating the opportunities our children deserve. This book is a salute to the leaders we depend upon."
