Bill Grace Leadership Legacy Award
Created in 2005 and named in honor of Center founder Bill Grace, this award celebrates Puget Sound leaders whose vision, commitment and unceasing efforts are significantly advancing social, environmental, and
economic justice. The Center is particularly interested in bringing attention to those who recognize the importance of collective work and who are often out of the traditional spotlight.
The Bill Grace Leadership Legacy Awards are given out at our Annual Legacy Event. To nominate someone for next year's award, please download the nomination form, complete it and send it back to Melissa Hamasaki.
