Each year, NPT selects leaders who have “distinguished themselves as initiators of concepts that will have legs and are already having impact.”
The 2018 honorees are selected from a group of 300 executives and a committee of NPT staff, contributors, and select executives are involved in the selection process. The group will meet for an annual gala at The National Press Club next month where one will receive the NPT Innovator of the Year Award.
Congratulations, again, to all the selected leaders. Thank you for your contributions to the charitable community and the people and missions we all serve.
