Circle of Excellence


Nomination Form  

Every year, Leadership Asheville Forum recognizes a genuinely outstanding leader in the Asheville/Buncombe County community, including but not limited to graduates of Leadership Asheville or Leadership Asheville Seniors community leadership programs. 

The Circle of Excellence Committee is comprised of members of the LAF board, who are not eligible to submit or receive Circle of Excellence nominations and are expected to excuse themselves if there is a conflict of interest involving a Circle of Excellence Award nominee.
Selection Criteria:
  • Accomplishments for which the nominee is being recognized have occurred at least within the last five years and within Buncombe County;

  • Nominee demonstrated leadership ability that addresses critical needs of our diverse community, while fostering the abilities of others;

  • Nominee has contributed to new or existing program(s) which have had, or are having a demonstrable impact on our community;

  • Nominee’s contribution to the community is clearly beyond the scope of her/his employment responsibilities.
The recipient will receive an individual Circle of Excellence Award and a donation of $500 will be contributed to the charitable organization of the recipient’s choice in their honor.
