Clyde Benn Service to Youth Award
Clyde Benn, former Director of the Office of Minority Health at the Oklahoma State Health Department, passed away in early 2000. He was a member of Leadership Oklahoma City Class XI, its board of directors, and a longtime friend and mentor to Youth Leadership Exchange class members. Clyde's personal motto was Pass it on--one who learns, teaches; one who receives, shares; one who is loved, loves others.
To honor Clyde's service and credo, the YLX Board of Directors created an award in his name that includes a $2500 cash gift to the youth-serving organization of the recipient's choice.
