Exceptional Leader Awards
Join us to recognize exceptional leaders in key industries for their innovations and bold actions in alignment with our values of Empowerment, Opportunity, Innovation, Lifelong Learning, Compassion, Integrity, and Sustainability. We invite you to celebrate the 2026 ELA winners at GlobalMindED on June 10th in Denver. We are announcing the winners through our newsletter daily in January.
Awardees are selected based on the following criteria:
- Impact in their chosen field, realizing significant levels of contribution
- Community leadership at the local, national, and/or global level
- Demonstrated leadership in innovation
- Role model for emerging talent, mentoring leaders of the future, like the students whom GlobalMindED serves
- Generous leader who fortifies and uplifts the next generation of leaders at local, state, national, and global levels
