2022 Emerging Leader Award Recipient

Presented to Gregory Felder
Felder works as a Communications Analyst for the World Bank Group, where he co-founded a youth engagement program to connect with their young audience. In 2021, he received the CEO Performance award and was also appointed to the World Bank President’s Council for Diversity and Inclusion. Greg’s leadership potential and ability to impact those around him are endless. He is a perfect example of a positive role model and mentor. Greg holds an associate’s degree from Clark State College and a bachelor’s degree from Wright State University in Mass Communication/New Media.
"I'm extremely honored to be receiving this award. It's extra special to me because Clark State is where I started learning leadership skills through student council and the student ambassador program,” said Felder.
