of 2005
LEAD San Diego, in the third year of its partnership with
10News and Sempra Energy, honored ordinary people who are
doing extraordinary things to improve the quality of life
in the San Diego region at the 10News Leadership Award Gala
on January 19, 2005 at the Museum of Photographic Arts in
Balboa Park.
The 10 Leadership Awards highlight leaders of all ages and
socioeconomic backgrounds who are committed to building and
strengthening our communities – something that is central
to LEAD’s mission. Every Thursday on 10News Live @ 5,
10News correspondent Geni Cavitt hosts a segment in which
these individuals are honored.
Harry Carter, chairman of the LEAD San Diego Board, and Molly
Cartmill, immediate past chair and Director of Corporate Community
Relations & Corporate Events for Sempra Energy, provided
remarks at this inspirational gathering that brought together
the community’s best and brightest leaders. Speakers
included past 10News Leadership Award Recipient Ken Druck
(2000), founder of the Jenna Druck Foundation and last years’
winner of the Quality of Life Award at LEAD San Diego’s
annual event, the 2004 Visionary Awards. Joining
him were Overall Leader of the Year Recipients Gidget Shultz
(2001), founder of Gidget’s Way and Zara Marselian (2003),
founder of La Maestra Family Clinic, who spoke about the positive
effects of receiving the 10News Leadership Award.
The evening closed with the announcement of the 2004 Overall
Leader of the Year Award, which was presented to Veleria Fabiszak.
Fabiszak organized the San Diego chapter of the International
Rett Syndrome Association and the Annual Run For Rett. She
is currently overseeing construction of San Diego’s
first universal playground for children with disabilities.
The 10News Leadership Award is a project of LEAD San Diego,
