A community can be best defined by the people who live and work there. Every day men and women serve important roles as police officers, business owners, city officials, parents and even "latrine queens." To get an accurate reflection of a community, it is necessary to get the story behind the faces. YourHub.com’s editorial staff has set out to tell these important stories and honor the men and women who make this a great community to live in.
