After a year spent navigating the many impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the recipients of the 2020 Mark A. Wallace Catalyst Leadership Award will have a renewed opportunity in 2021 to enjoy a full and uninterrupted honoree experience.
Given how hard the 2020 Catalyst Leaders worked to earn such a significant award, President and CEO Mark A. Wallace decided last month to extend their term for another year. Wallace met with the award recipients in October and later shared that he believes providing them with additional time as Catalyst Leaders is only fair – particularly in light of their continued contributions and commitment throughout the pandemic.
The extended term will also give the recipients more time to take advantage of Texas Children’s premiere leadership development program. Catalyst Leaders are those who set an example to make the biggest possible difference and ensure the best possible outcomes, all while wholeheartedly embracing the organization’s mission and core values. Catalysts boldly and thoughtfully step up to the challenge of leading a project or program, successfully impacting a team, process or element of our mission. More than just recognition, the award is an opportunity for honorees to continue learning and growing those leadership skills, becoming even more effective leaders within our organization and in their personal lives.
Texas Children’s team members will be able to submit nominees for the 2022 Mark A. Wallace Catalyst Leadership Award in fall 2021. Regardless of role, employees at all levels of the workforce can nominate colleagues and be considered for the award themselves. Additional information will be provided before the nomination period opens.
