What an unforgettable evening at the historic Casa De Palmas hotel! We were honored to host our 2025 Community and Emerging Leaders Award Ceremony, bringing together the brilliant minds and dedicated hearts that make our region thrive.
We proudly recognized:
Ford Sasser with the 2025 Community Leader Award for his outstanding contributions and unwavering commitment to the Rio Grande Valley.
Alexandria Garza & Andrea Garcia as the recipients of the 2025 Dr. Nedra S. Kinerk Emerging Leaders Scholarship. These bright leaders are already making their mark!
A special acknowledgment went to our Co-Founder and President Emerita, Dr. Nedra S. Kinerk, whose legacy (1999-2025) continues to inspire the next generation.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for a night of celebration and connection. Browse the album to relive the wonderful moments and please tag your friends and colleagues!
