DeKalb LEADS

Congratulations Tyler!!! So well deserved!
Tyler was also an integral part of getting DeKalb LEADS launched in 2020! His dedication to our community is inspiring!

The Citizen of the Year award was introduced last year to recognize individuals in our community who go above and beyond to make a positive impact.

Nominations are submitted by the public, and we received several deserving candidates. After careful consideration, one individual stood out and was selected by our team for this honor.

This year’s Citizen of the Year, a person who has shown unwavering dedication to improving the well-being of the City of Auburn and DeKalb County as a whole—Tyler Cleverly.

Tyler's commitment to our community is nothing short of inspiring. He has poured his heart into numerous organizations and causes, always striving to make a difference. He has served on various committees and boards, including St. Martin’s Healthcare, NeighborLink DeKalb, Drug Free DeKalb, andYoung Professionals of DeKalb County. But it is his role as Executive Director of the United Way of DeKalb County, Inc. that truly highlights his tireless work to make our community stronger.

Tyler’s work is fueled by his passion for helping others. In 2020, he was honored with the Helping Hand Award from United Way, a well-deserved recognition of his exceptional service.

Through his dedication, Tyler has shown us all what it means to put others first, to serve with integrity, and to work tirelessly for the betterment of our community. We are deeply grateful for his contributions and the positive change he continues to create.
