For 47 years, the Oldham Chamber and Economic Development has recognized one person annually for going above and beyond their commitment to the county.
Those people are honored as Oldham Countian of the Year, and the list grew on Tuesday.
"This year, our honoree is someone that is not in the mainstream of politics, business or chamber work," said Deana Epperly Karem, executive director of the chamber, but who has a passion for the county that is "deeply ingrained in all that he does and stands for."
