Leadership San Angelo - Leader of the Year Awards
Each spring the Leadership San Angelo Alumni Association recognizes a Civic Leader of the Year. The association membership nominates candidates for this award who are not necessarily Leadership San Angelo programs graduates. The award is presented to the recipient at a San Angelo Chamber of Commerce membership luncheon.
