Join Mount Saint Mary College for its annual Leadership Gala Reception, celebrating two pillars of the local community, on Friday, December 6.

Mount alumnus Steven M. Neuhaus ’96, Orange County Executive, and alumna Christina Bart Bilsky ’85, a Mount trustee, will be honored with the Joseph A. Bonura Award for Leadership Excellence. The award recognizes individuals or organizations whose professional accomplishments, service to the community, and leadership reflect the same commitment to quality, concern for neighbors, and shared prosperity that have exemplified the career and character of local entrepreneur, Joseph A. Bonura.
