The award came days after Williams' 100th birthday
At 100 years old, Leon L. Williams continues adding to a lengthy and impressive list of accomplishments.
“We want to recognize not your birthday but 100 years of trailblazing civic leadership,” said Jordan Marks, the county’s assessor taxpayer advocate and one of a dozen speakers who recognized Williams with honorary remarks and certificates. Williams started the Southeastern Economic Development Corp., Centre City Development Corp. and the local Hate Crimes Registry. He is the namesake of the county’s Human Relations Commission. The county revived the board in 2020 after its predecessor, which Williams had created during his tenure as supervisor, dissolved in 2018.
County Board of Supervisors Chair Nathan Fletcher shares a laugh with Leon L. Williams on Saturday, July 30, 2022.
