Recognizing visionary leadership within the current LEAD IMPACT San Diego class.
Herb Klein’s contributions of leadership, dedication, and service to our community are almost unparalleled. The impact of his work has touched innumerable civic, social and non-profit organizations throughout our region and across the country. In the spirit of his commitment and achievements, each year LEAD San Diego recognizes a member of the current class with the annual Herbert G. Klein Visionary Award. This honor is presented to an individual who, in emulation of the award’s namesake, has not only made his or her own significant leadership contributions to our community, but who has also demonstrated potential to effect further change upon graduation from the LEAD program. The recipient is recognized by both fellow class members and the LEAD Board of Directors as one of San Diego’s key future leaders.
