EARLY START – NOON - Before Meeting Community Service Project. Maury Glover has been a reporter at Fox 9 for more than 20 years. He was born and grew up in Minneapolis, graduated from Minneapolis Southwest High School, and went to St John's University in Collegeville, Mn, where he majored in English. Glover's journey in local news started at KSTP-TV where he was a weekend producer, before moving to his first stint at Fox 9 as a producer. His first job as a reporter was at WITI in Milwaukee. He returned to Fox 9 in the early 2000's and has been here ever since.
What Maury loves most about being a journalist is meeting the people of Minnesota and getting to share their stories. He has had a weekly feature segment called "Maury's Stories" about the people, places and things that make Minnesota a great place to live for the last five years or so. He has won two regional Upper Midwest Emmy Awards and was named City Pages Best TV Newsperson in 2019. Glover is a Minnesotan through and through and is proud to get to do what he does for a living in his hometown.
Friday, May 16, is the deadline for application submissions. The Rotary Club of Edina seeks nominees for the 19th-annual “Chrysanne Manoles Women In Leadership Award.”
Reflecting society in 1905, the Rotary organization was limited to male members and remained so officially until 1989. The forward-thinking Rotary Club of Edina welcomed its first female member, Chrysanne Manoles, a year earlier in 1988. Manoles continues to be active in Rotary. To celebrate the work of women in the community, the Rotary Club of Edina established an annual women’s leadership award in 2008.
Nominees cannot be current Rotarians and must live, work or volunteer in Edina. Female nominees must demonstrate Rotary’s “Four Way Test” of the things we think, say or do: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
To nominate a woman for the prestigious award, submit a simple form online. Applications must be submitted by Friday, May 16. The 2026 Chrysanne Manoles Women In Leadership Award will be announced at the May 28 meeting of the Rotary Club of Edina.
For more information about the Women in Leadership Award, contact Past President Jennifer Bennerotte, 612-201-3467 or jbennerotte@EdinaRotary.org. Click “Read More” to read the full-article.
