Leadership recognition at The California Wellness Foundation is pursued through programs designed to acknowledge exceptional individuals who demonstrate leadership on important health issues. This issue of Reflections examines the first of these programs — the California Peace Prize. Initiated in 1993 as a part of the Foundation’s 10-year, $60 million comprehensive grantmaking program, the Violence Prevention Initiative, the California Peace Prize has outlasted the life of the Initiative and serves as a model for many of our other leadership recognition programs.
