What does leadership look like? Each year we recognize five outstanding leaders whose commitment to community, belonging, and collective action is creating a lasting impact across the region.

When leaders go all in, whole communities rise
The courage to lead
Being a Prebys Leader means going “all in” for your community and finding the courage to commit, especially when it’s hard or risky. Through moments of triumph and trial, Prebys Leaders don’t hedge. They stay.
Rooted in collective action
Across our region, our 2026 Prebys Leaders are proving that change isn’t just possible, it’s already happening. It’s happening because they are choosing to show up. To collaborate. To build a San Diego where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
