A legacy is not simply measured by the positions you’ve held, but by the lives you’ve touched and the community you’ve helped shape.

It was our distinct honor to recognize Lorraine Perryman, Former Mayor & Community Advocate, as our OU40 Legacy Honoree.

Lorraine’s years of leadership, service, and unwavering commitment to our community have created an impact that reaches far beyond her time in office. Her example reminds us that true leadership is rooted in service and that the work we do today can influence generations to come.

Lorraine, thank you for leading, serving, advocating, and paving the way for those who follow. We are deeply grateful for the legacy you have built and continue to strengthen.

It was a privilege to honor you. 💛
