The Stanley A. Davis Leadership Award is presented annually to a
UMDF leader who exemplifies dedication to the UMDF. The award
was created to honor the work and dedication to the organization

living positively with mitochondrial disease. The awardee
overcomes daily challenges to achieve goals in career, family, and
volunteer service. The individual demonstrates a positive attitude,
hope for a brighter future, and an enthusiasm that inspires others.
