The Chapter Leadership Award

Current Recipients
Former Recipients

The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame, Inc., is comprised of 119 chapters across the country. It is through these chapters that the members of this organization make a significant effort to positively affect the communities in which they are involved. In order to produce the profound results that many of our chapters are noted for, a true leader is needed. In recognition of their commitment, generosity, and guidance the Chapter Leadership Award was created.

Each year the National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame honors a chapter leader from each of its four regions for their dedication in fulfilling the goals and ideals of the Foundation as well as for their continuous effort in honoring scholar-athletes and promoting amateur football in their community's and beyond.

The Chapter Leadership Award is among the Foundation's most revered for all the characteristics it encompasses. As Chairman of the National Football Foundation, Ron Johnson states, "These distinguished persons have been selected from among all of our chapters across the country for their leadership and numerous contributions promoting the basic principle of scholarship, citizenship, and athletic performance."

Speaking on behalf of the national office, NFF President Steven J. Hatchell echoed Mr. Johnson's remarks. "The amount that these individuals have accomplished as volunteers is amazing and we are delighted to have them representing the National Football Foundation."

As noted before, four Chapter Leadership Awards are presented, each year, to individuals from each of the Foundation's four regions. The recipients are guests of honor at the NFF's Annual Awards ceremonies, at the Waldorf-Hotel in New York City. In addition the Chapter Leadership Award winners are honored, individually, during their stay at the Foundation's Annual Award Luncheon.
