Marshall Leadership Awards
The General George C. Marshall Public and Youth Leadership Awards are awarded in recognition of a person’s demonstrated leadership potential, commitment to public service, and strength of character. These awards were created in cooperation with the Marshall Foundation in Lexington, Virginia, to commemorate General Marshall’s two-year residence at Fort Vancouver, as well as honor the legacy of this world statesman.
