Sharon Malheiro Outstanding Leadership Award – The Gazette (2020)

The final award given at the One Iowa Virtual Gala is the Sharon Malheiro Outstanding Leadership Award. Sharon was one of the architects behind marriage equality in Iowa and was one of the founders of our organization. Corporations and organizations that embrace inclusion and equality through their work are recognized through this award.
This year, we recognize The Gazette as the 2020 Sharon Malheiro Outstanding Leadership Award recipient.


The Gazette is proud to partner with the team at One Iowa in both content and audience-engaging events. Regular guest columns, Iowa Ideas, the Workplace Culture Summit, and of course, the 2019 LGBTQ Presidential Forum are just a few examples of how collaboration of skills and resources can create new and informative experiences for our readers and beyond. Providing a platform for the LGBTQ community to voice the issues, seek action and encourage understanding is our honor. There is much more to be done, but through partnerships as demonstrated with One Iowa, we have a strong path forward.” – Zack Kucharski, Executive Editor & Quinn Pettifer, Manager of Brand Initiatives.
