2024 Gala Honoree Diane Sullivan Executive Chair, Caleres Receiving the Bob Campbell Lifetime Achievement Award
The Bob Campbell Lifetime Achievement Award was established by the Two Ten Footwear Foundation Board of Directors in 2009 and named for its first recipient, the late Bob Campbell, an industry trailblazer and champion for colleagues in need. Bob never forgot the hardships he faced in his youth and was a fierce advocate for the Two Ten mission. This award, presented every five years, recognizes an individual who has shown extraordinary leadership and deep compassion, just as Bob did.
