Silver Fleur-De-Lis Award<br />
<strong>Greater</strong> <strong>Louisville</strong> <strong>Inc</strong>. created the Silver Fleur-De-Lis Award as a way to recognize<br />
outstanding achievement during the past year. The award illustrates what’s possible<br />
in our community when we all work together. Please join GLI in congratulating the<br />
following 2008 honorees for their dedication.<br />
Every 1 Reads - This collaborative effort between the business, government and<br />
education communities was launched in 2004 with the audacious goal of having every<br />
Jefferson County Public School student reading at grade level within four years.<br />
The school system approached the challenge with unblinking determination, the business community<br />
raised $8 million to fund the effort, community-based organizations trained their staffs and volunteers and<br />
adapted their programming and more than 10,000 individuals completed training and tutored a student.<br />
The results are a significant improvement in literacy rates…with 91% of students now reading at<br />
grade level. Every 1 Reads also serves as a national model for the development and execution of a<br />
comprehensive community vision for increasing<br />
educational attainment.<br />

The Ryder Cup and The Cup Experience - The 2008 Ryder Cup will<br />
be remembered as the year the Americans took back the Cup. But for<br />
Louisvillians, this Ryder Cup will be remembered as a shining moment<br />
for our entire community. Thanks to the leadership and effort of many<br />
in providing flawless logistics and transportation; ensuring the inclusive<br />
participation of minority and women-owned businesses; and creating<br />
premier Cup Experience activities – all in the aftermath of Hurricane<br />
Ike – the beauty of our community and the spirit of our people was<br />
highlighted for all the world to see. The result…we showed the world<br />
what Possibility City is all about!<br />

Thomas A. Edison Award<br />
The Thomas A. Edison Award is presented to former Louisvillians who has<br />
achieved personal and professional success while continuing to support<br />
the <strong>Greater</strong> <strong>Louisville</strong> community. The 2008 recipient of the Thomas A.<br />
Edison Award is Dean Fearing, Chef and Partner, Fearing’s Restaurant.<br />
Long known as the ‘father of southwestern cuisine’ Chef Dean Fearing<br />
was born in Ashland, Kentucky. Dean came to <strong>Louisville</strong> to pursue a<br />
degree in the Culinary Arts at Jefferson Community and Technical<br />
College (JCTC). It was during his time at JCTC that Dean met his mentor,<br />
Chef Harvey Colgin who encouraged him to attend the Culinary Institute of America. He<br />
later went on to serve stints at the La Maisonette in Cincinnati and the Pyramid Room at the<br />
Fairmont in Dallas.<br />
After 20-plus years at the Mansion on Turtle Creek, Dean opened Fearing’s in August 2007 at<br />
the Ritz-Carlton, Dallas. Named “Restaurant of the Year” and “Table of the Year” by Esquire<br />
Magazine shortly after opening and named No. 1 in Hotel Dining in the U.S. by Zagat just<br />
15 months later; Fearing’s has created quite a buzz with distinct dining venues, a spectacular<br />
farm-to-market seasonal menu, and personal presence of Fearing himself.<br />
GLI/Mayor’s Healthy Hometown<br />
Worksite Wellness Award<br />
Since its inception in 2004, the Mayor’s Healthy Hometown Movement<br />

wellness practices of companies across the region, the MHHM partnered<br />
