This award has been established to recognize an ICF member 39 years old or younger, who has demonstrated outstanding leadership abilities. While other ICF awards honor individuals who have made substantial contributions over time in a range of good works, the purpose of this award is to acknowledge and encourage younger Federation members who have shown that they possess the enthusiasm, talent, energy and vision to become the leaders who will guide the Federation in the decades ahead.
