Graduates also attended the Celebration of Service to America Awards in Washington, DC. With over 600 guests and industry influencers, including top media companies, politicians, press and honoree John Legend, the Leadership Foundation of the National Association of Broadcasters honored local radio and broadcast stations for their commitment and service to local communities across the country.
