EMERGING LEADER AWARD
2018 WINNER — SOPHIA TRAN

Bates Technical College Student
Manager of Student Activities Juliette Kern wrote in her nomination form that Tran is an “exemplary student, passionate leader, eager to step up for her community, and is not afraid to tell her story. She is highly intelligent, and goes above and beyond in terms of what is expected.”
We all know up-and-coming leaders. They are those who take an idea, inspire others, and make it a reality - regardless of their age or background. Many such people are never publicly recognized as leaders, perhaps because they are quiet servant leaders or they are new young leaders. City Club of Tacoma invites you to nominate one of those promising leaders for the Emerging Leader Award.
