Bishop Richard Lennon introduced Bishop Roger W. Gries for the award.

Bishop Roger Gries has devoted his life and career to Catholic education, specifically within urban Cleveland. Early in his career he worked as a teacher, football coach, transporation director, assistant principal and principal during his tenure at Benedictine High School. Named the Auxiliary Bishop of Cleveland in 2001, it has always been his mission to empower Cleveland's less fortunate and embed within students obligations to love, to respect and to be your brother's and sister's keeper.

Sam Miller and Stuart Muszynski introduced Eleanor Fanslau for the award.

Eleanor Fanslau represents all of the “heroes behind the scenes” in Northeast Ohio who work on projects to allow their bosses to do good work in the community and country. For 61 years, she has been the back office, back stop, gatekeeper and doer of goodness for Sam Miller and the late Nate Shafran. Because of Eleanor's steadfast devotion to two great leaders, she has facilitated goodness and greatness in our community, and for her efforts she merits the Sam Miller Goodness Award.

For 40 years, Lute Harmon, Sr. has been the cheerleader for Cleveland. As chairman of Great Lakes Publishing Company and publisher of Cleveland Magazine, Inside Business and numerous other publications, he has touted the best and brightest of Cleveland. When others were discouraged about Cleveland's assets or potential, he kept on encouraging all of us, including and inspiring our region’s CEOs through the Northeast Ohio Business Hall of Fame. While other media cut down and cast doubts on our potential, Lute continued believing in Cleveland and its people! For being a cheerleader for Cleveland, Lute’s goodness is deserving of the Sam Miller Goodness Award.
