The Committee for Geelong Annual Leadership Award
Since 2010, the Committee for Geelong has awarded the Annual Leadership Award to a leader of significance in our community. The inaugural Annual Leadership Award that year was bestowed upon Frank Costa AO, for his services to the Geelong community.
​
The Annual Leadership Award was renamed the Frank Costa Annual Leadership Award in 2021, in recognition of Frank Costa’s legacy and leadership in the Geelong community and remembers him as one of the Committee for Geelong’s founders 20 years ago. Mr Costa sadly passed away in May 2021.
