History
The Sullivan Leadership Award was first established in 1989 as a Washington state program to support five student leaders and thereby promote leadership and service for others through ethical vision. As of Academic year 2010 it has grown to include thirteen states with nine awardees. Award recipients are referred to as Sullivan Leaders.
