DHS is kicking off its second century with a new awards luncheon logo and name while continuing to honor its traditions and the Dallas History Makers of today and introducing a new awards category: Dallas Historical Society’s Benefactor of the Year.
The awards were established on behalf of the Trustees of the Dallas Historical Society in 1981. Outstanding individuals and organizations are selected for this honor from nominations solicited from the Dallas community. The recipients are chosen for their contribution to the quality of life in Dallas in multiple categories, including Arts Leadership, Creative Arts, Education, History, Humanities, Philanthropy, Sports Leadership, and Volunteer Community Leadership.
Slated for Friday, November 17, 2023 at the Fairmont Hotel’s International Ballroom, the morning begins as guests mix and mingle prior to a three-course luncheon, inspiring videos honoring the award recipients sharing their often untold stories and highlighting their contributions to Dallas, and awards presentations. The event is topped off with the traditional A.C. Greene Champagne Toast.
The awards recipients are:
Dallas Historical Society Benefactor of the Year – Stan Graff
Arts Leadership - Gail Sachson
Creative Arts - Lyric Stage
Education - Dr. Carine Feyten
