Dan Bukovac and Ben Martin Receive the Excellence in Leadership Award

Beginning in 2023, the English-Speaking Union began an initiative to acknowledge and recognize ESU members for the exceptional volunteer work they do for ESU.

ESU’s Member Recognition Awards are designed to honor and celebrate the contributions and dedication of ESU members. By recognizing members’ efforts, we not only show appreciation, but also help motivate others to engage and excel. These awards encourage ongoing participation and enthusiasm among the membership!

Award Categories:

Lifetime Achievement Award: This award recognizes consistent and long-term commitment to the ESU and the local branch.

Excellence in Leadership Award: This award honors reliable and steadfast leading presence within the branch.

Branch Honors: This award acknowledges member accomplishments in branch activities through time, talent, or treasure.

These awards are announced at the ESU Annual Conferences each year. At the ESU Annual Conference held in Cleveland, Ohio October 18-20, 2024, Julie Robinson, President of the Kansas City Branch, recognized two outstanding branch members, (L to R) Dan Bukovac and Ben Martin, and awarded them the

Excellence in Leadership Award. The Kansas City Branch congratulates Dan and Ben for their outstanding leadership in the branch.
