Detroit Free Press staff
Nominations are open for the 2021 Shining Light Awards, which recognize exceptional current and emerging leaders who are making an impact on the region.
The Detroit Free Press and Metropolitan Affairs Coalition launched the Shining Light Awards in 2007 to highlight the importance of regional leadership and cooperation to the success of southeast Michigan, honoring leaders whose work crosses geographic, institutional or cultural boundaries to improve the region. The awards are named in memory of the late Neal Shine, former Detroit Free Press editor and publisher, and honor his legacy of dedication to metro Detroit.
