Sanders was presented the award by founder Rino Armeni, who recognized the executive’s commitment to higher education and to the personal growth that is essential in becoming the ultimate leader.

Guests enjoyed a spectacular dinner under the direction of three-star Michelin Chef Pierre Gagnaire.

Guests included LVBA board members, business executives and media. All four LVBA scholarship recipients (Tasha Schwikert, Matthew Sheahan, Keivan Roebuck, and Daven Cameron) attended dinner, and acknowledged to the group the impact that education and mentorship provided by LVBA has had on their lives. All four are committed to excellence in their careers and giving back to Las Vegas.
