For decades, Harry Silver made an impact in the private world of business; and for the last seven years, has been leaving his mark on the public one as well. Silver, the current president of the Alexandria City Council, has been the recipient of many distinguished awards, and this week was named the Cenla-ian of the Year by Cenla Focus magazine and a panel of community leaders. “It is a distinct honor and a privilege to join with such an auspicious group of people for this award. At 90, it’s a dividend that’s welcome, and I feel quite humbled about being recognized,” Silver, comfortably seated at his Alexandria home, says. The Cenla-ian of the Year Award is reserved for a select few who exemplify noteworthy leadership qualities and whose works are community standouts.
