Established in 1968, the award recognizes an individual who has a lifelong history of outstanding service to the Northern Kentucky community, exhibits outstanding service to their profession or industry, and exemplifies the highest standards of personal integrity and family responsibility.


Heil’s civic engagement has always followed his passions, starting when he was a student at the University of Kentucky and was a founding member of The Students to Save Robinson Forest. He was instrumental as a research asset in preserving the forest. The first engagement in his professional career was serving on the Board of Adjustments for the City of Bellevue.

Through the years, his civic engagement grew, particularly in the city of Fort Thomas where he lives and works.  He served as the first Chairman of the Military Commons Homeowners Association and he and his wife, Mary Beth, have undertaken leadership of the committee to erect a statue in honor of the namesake of Fort Thomas, Union General George Henry Thomas.

Within Campbell County, he has been a member of the Campbell Leadership Action Group since 2003, serving its Chairman for two years. At Northern Kentucky University (NKU), he has served on the NKU Foundation Advocacy Committee, the Construction Management Advisory Board, the Haile/US Bank College of Business Dean’s Advisory Board, was an adjunct faculty in the Physics and Geology Department, has been a proud supporter of Norse Athletics, and a strong advocate for NKU in Frankfort.

Within the region, he is a member of the Duke Energy OH/KY Advisory Council and recently served on the Metropolitan Club Board of Governors. He is an alumnus of both Leadership Cincinnati and Leadership Kentucky and has spent countless hours serving on various committees for the Northern Kentucky Chamber, most importantly as a member of its Board of Directors, serving as Chairman from 2016-2017.

He has served on various committees, as well as the Board of Directors for Northern Kentucky Tri-ED and was recently named Chairman during a time in history when Tri-ED is undertaking a significant transformation to help the region grow.
