Lonny Powell, the CEO and executive vice president of the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders' and Owners,' was recognized as the Executive of the Year by the Florida Society of Association Executives at its annual conference held July 20-22 in Tampa.
The award, which was presented Friday during the conference awards luncheon, honors the association executive who has displayed the highest commitment to professional growth and pride in association management, with evident professionalism and leadership in both services to the association management profession and to the community.
“I am very honored to be selected by the FSAE as Florida Executive of the Year,” Powell said. “I extend my greatest appreciation to FSAE, their awards committee and salute the Association's state-wide and diverse membership of leading executives and decision makers in our Sunshine State's expansive non-profit, hospitality, member and trade association spaces. I also extend my appreciation to the member or members who nominated me in the first place to be considered for this Association's highest honor.”
Powell was also honored by the American Horse Council, which represents all breeds of horses in the nation's capital, with its acclaimed Van Ness Award in Washington D.C. in June.
