His mentorship was one that was defined by a focus on the well being and success of people around him with practical worldly wisdom. He opened up his knowledge and network to people that enabled them to grow both individually, and in groups. This annual award recognizes those individuals who have demonstrated mentorship to others in a way that is selfless, focused on the mentee and creating value for not just one but several mentees over long periods of time.
