Texas Children’s cultivates leadership at all levels

One of our mantras at Texas Children’s is that we all are leaders, no matter our position in the organization or our title. In the words of Texas Children’s President and CEO Mark A. Wallace: “Leadership applies to everyone.”

Some of the best examples of across-the-board leadership at Texas Children’s are our Mark A. Wallace Catalyst Leadership Award winners. Established in 2011 in by members of the Texas Children's Board of Trustees in honor of Wallace’s 20th Anniversary as president and CEO, the awards recognize individuals who lead by example, make the biggest possible difference, ensure the best possible outcomes and uphold Texas Children's mission and core values.

“Every year, I look forward to announcing the recipients of The Mark A. Wallace Catalyst Leadership Award,” Wallace said. “Choosing just five Catalyst honorees out of so many worthy candidates is never easy, but I am always excited to announce the recipients.”
