Diplomat of the Year 2024

Charlie Leppo - ServPro

Servpro is an industry-leading restoration company started in 1967. Over the years the Servpro team has grown into a nationally recognized name specializing in fire and water damage. Being a part of an emergency response team can be intense, but incredibly rewarding. If you have never experienced a disaster in your home, it is hard to explain the overwhelming feeling of anxiety and fear.  Stepping in like a real-life superhero to help someone when they need it most is both humbling and rewarding, which to me, is why this company is so great to work for.

Community pride and spirit were apparent to me when coming to Shelby County, immediately enticing me to become more involved. I was searching for a common place of like-minded individuals who all appreciate the unique small town charm Shelbyville has to offer. Once getting involved I noticed the efforts that were being made for growth and development to benefit the community. The Chamber was just what we needed. A tool to network, build relationships, nourish community, and benefit livelihood.

The amazing thing about what we do and being in a small town is being able to see the change from the effort we put in. Building relationships, supporting local, being a helping hand in time of need is a big part of what embodies our tight-knit community. Disaster is never planned, and when it knocks on the door it is important to have someone you know you can trust and rely on. Calling Shelby County home with my family and being able to help the community when needed has been extremely fulfilling for us. When disaster strikes we will be there to “make it Like it never even happened!”
