The Jackson Exchange Club was proud to present the 63rd Annual Jackson’s Man of the Year Banquet. On behalf of our fellow citizens, we were privileged to present Jackson’s most outstanding citizen.

The recipient is awarded for being unselfish with his time, talents, and ability in serving his fellow man and making Jackson a better place to live.  This honor is bestowed, not for superiority of service in his chosen field, but for the voluntary contributions he has made in bettering our overall community.
