This year, we honor the power of courageous leadership.

Courage to listen. Courage to act. Courage to lead with heart—especially when it matters most.

We are honored to invite you to support the 2026 Joseph Jaworski Leadership Awards Event, taking place on Thursday, October 29 at 6:00 PM at The Revaire.

We are proud to center our celebration on the theme of Courage in Action—capturing  and elevating stories from Senior Fellows across our network whose leadership reflects  the power of courage to shape organizations, communities, and lives.  We are incredibly excited to recognize three extraordinary leaders whose work exemplifies this spirit of courageous leadership:

• Bill Boyar, (Class XXVIII) recipient of the Joseph Jaworski Leadership Award, for  his enduring leadership and impact across our community.

• Nancy Li-Tarim, (Class XXVIII) and Dr. Soner Tarim, (Class XXX) recipients of the Joseph Jaworski Public Servant Award, for their commitment to service and transformative contributions to the public good.

The Jaworski Leadership Awards Event is a powerful gathering of cross-sector leaders committed to advancing a stronger, more connected Houston. By becoming a sponsor, you are also investing in our mission to join and strengthen diverse leaders to serve the common good.

We invite you to stand with us for this inspiring evening— amplifying stories of courage and helping shape the future of leadership in our region.
