Maverick 2026

Individual or Organization

A maverick is an individual or organization that bucks a trend, or goes against the grain or in some way does not go along with the norm, yet makes a positive contribution. It could be a creative streak, or an eccentric one, but not accepting established rules or customs still gets results. Delightfully stubborn and definitely original, this person or group adds something special to our community.
