The purpose of the Charles P. Taft Civic Gumption Award is to call attention to those people who consistently uphold the same principles as Charlie Taft. It is an award of great honor that we bestow on individuals, living or dead, who tirelessly and fearlessly work for the well being of our city.
Taft was known as a reformer who never quit reforming. His independence and commitment to do what he believed was right, even in the face of adversity and criticism, remain legendary. Charlie's civic gumption contributed to the civic fabric of Cincinnati.
This biennial event celebrates the accomplishments of leaders in our community who exhibit courage and common sense in leadership.
Roxanne Qualls served as Mayor of the City of Cincinnati from 1993-1999 and as a member of City Council from 1991-1999 and from 2007-2013.

Qualls also served as director of the Cincinnati office of Ohio Citizen Action, executive director of Women Helping Women, and the director of the Northern Kentucky Rape Crisis Center.
Throughout her life, Roxanne Qualls has displayed the courage and determination to improve life for all Cincinnatians.
The Charter Committee will also be recognizing Eric Avner of the Haile Foundation and Kay Pettengill of Stepping Stones for their contributions towards strengthening the civic fabric of the Cincinnati Community.
