Each year the Leadership Council Bluffs Alumni Association recognizes a Leadership Council Bluffs graduate who has exhibited exceptional leadership and demonstrated ongoing dedication to positive change in the community.

The Leadership CB Alumni Association board named our Alumni of the Year award for Doug Goodman, who was a member of Class 1 and exemplified community leadership and involvement. He served on numerous boards, including Iowa Western Community College, Iowa West Foundation, Chamber of Commerce, SWI Education Foundation, Pottawattamie County Development Corp. and Leadership Alumni. He was also active in many other civic organizations and fundraisers such as Rebuild Bayliss Park. His 2018 passing was the loss of a true community leader.
