The Yale Athletic Department's presentation of the George H.W.
Bush Lifetime of Leadership Award honors alumni athletes who, in
their lives after Yale, have made significant leadership
contributions in their worlds of governance, commerce, science and
technology, education, public service, and the arts and media. The
Award has been named in recognition of George Herbert Walker Bush,
the 41st President of the United States of America, as the living
epitome of one who has successfully and selflessly committed a
lifetime to address the diverse global leadership demands of his
generation. Each honoree is chosen by a broadly representative
alumni Honors Committee, based upon the candidates' individual
lifetime leadership contributions in their respective fields. All
have been graduated for more than 20 years and exemplify Yale's
rich athletic heritage as an important component of the
undergraduate educational experience. The awards are presented at
the bi-annual Blue Leadership Ball the night before the
Yale/Harvard football game, an event that brings together over 700
alumni and friends of Yale Athletics.
