The Leadership Excellence Award
Leadership Palm Beach County’s Leadership Excellence Award recognizes exceptional Leadership Alumni who make significant contributions to improve our community. These individuals are active examples of the mission of Leadership Palm Beach County.
We accept nominations of Alumni by Alumni each year. The confidential selection committee, made up of a diverse group of alumni, reviews the nominations. This selection committee identifies a small group of finalists, who will be announced before the end of the year Leadership Celebration event, and one recipient, who will be announced at the Celebration event. Our standing president also has the prerogative to award the President's Award to an outstanding alumnus of his or her choice.
Additionally, this year the Board of Governors decided it was time to create a special recognition for those extraordinary individuals whose service goes beyond volunteering for Leadership. Individuals who lead through action, put others first, and embody the very essence of servant leadership specifically to lift our mission. This award is the Leadership Palm Beach County Servant Leader Award.
This is more than a Volunteer of the Year award. It recognizes someone who inspires us through commitment, humility, generosity, and unwavering dedication to others. Someone who sets the standard for what servant leadership should look like for our organization.
