Each year the Kenton County Pioneer Award recognizes four living residents of Kenton County who have a record of outstanding service to the community and exemplify the highest standards of personal integrity. The Pioneer Award honors those who demonstrate servant leadership combined with awareness of the needs of our fellow residents.
A committee, composed of the members of the Kenton County Ethics Commission, reviews the nominations, identifies four deserving individuals, and forwards their names to the Kenton County Fiscal Court.
