In a field of highly qualified young men, the DCEF had a hardtime selecting the winners ofthe 2011 Borelli Family Leadership Award. The Foundation board, with the help of the Progam Committee's recommendation, has decided that a totalof 12 men will be awarded the Borelli Family Leadership Award. Four of the eight men would receive the Award "With Distinction." That designation means that these men went above and beyond the qualifications for consideration for the award.
