The Exploring annual recognition dinner gives us an opportunity to celebrate the Greater St. Louis Exploring youth, adults and partners. This year we are also celebrating and honoring the long history of Health Care Exploring programs.
A highlight of the evening is the presentation of various Exploring related awards. Please consider nominating those who are deserving from your post with one of the Exploring recognitions listed below.
If your nominee is unable to attend the dinner we will see that they receive their recognition at another time. For more information contact Julie Monken at (314)256-3052.
