Certain People
Make a larger-than-life positive difference in a community
Certain People
Are agile enough to create multiple solutions to difficult challenges
Certain People
Stay calm and thoughtful while other rage about
Certain People
Remain humble while other parade
Certain People
Are always ready with a smile and a quick wit
Certain People
Maintain calm focus during stormy weather
Certain People
Are securely committed through energetic disagreements
Certain People
Hold their values as the foundation for all decisions
Certain People
Always stand tall
Certain People
Understand service more deeply than most
Thank you, Steve for being Certain People.
