BERLIN — Three high school seniors, Kayleigh Eastman of Berlin, Monique Cote of Gorham, and Erica Dagesse of Colebrook, will be honored this spring with Sylvia Evans Young Leadership awards, announced Ken Gordon, CEO of Coos County Family Health Services.
This is the seventh year of the Young Leadership Awards presentation, which was started under the umbrella of the Sylvia Evans Award for young women who serve as role models by taking on a greater than ordinary social role fueled by a strong sense of direction.
