NEWS DIGEST
by Brandon Waltens
Good morning,
The Conservative Leader Awards honor the real leaders in our republic: the citizens.
The dinner recognizes the men and women of the Texas who have stood up and stepped out by demonstrating real leadership in their neighborhoods and communities.
Unlike other organizations, we don’t present awards to politicians. Only grassroots activists.
The Conservative Leader Awards is an event for you and your fellow liberty-loving Texans to be encouraged, connect with friends, and share in some fellowship with people who love the Lone Star State as much as you do.
Nominations [[link removed]] are currently open for award recipients. Use the form on our website to nominate a citizen-leader from your neighborhood or community.
The 2023 Conservative Leader Awards will be held on Saturday, December 9, at the Irving Convention Center. (More details will be coming soon.)
Check out previous recipients of the award here. [[link removed]]
