Community-builders honored at unveiling of 30th anniversary Book of Leaders

For the 30th anniversary of the Book of Leaders, 150 invited guests gathered on Brickell Avenue last week to salute the 52 outstanding individuals featured in the 2026 book, which compiles a full year of the Achiever profiles that are a Miami Today hallmark. Business, civic and nonprofit leaders plus officials of local and global governments attended. Many had been honored as Achievers in past years. They gathered in the 24th floor home of Northern Trust Bank at 600 Brickell Ave. to congratulate this year’s honorees, whose portraits were being sequentially displayed. Miami Today has recognized as Achievers more than 2,200 leaders since 1983, creating a “Who’s Who” reference book collection. In a brief program, Miami Today’s guests were greeted by Cristian LaCapra, senior vice president and senior wealth specialist of Northern Trust Bank, which has collaborated with Miami Today over the years in community endeavors.
