VISTAGE PROUDLY SUPPORTS


Inspiring Leadership At Every Stage Of Life
A LIFELONG JOURNEY
At Vistage, we believe leadership is a lifelong journey—and it starts long before the boardroom. This initiative reflects Vistage’s commitment to celebrating leadership at every stage.
COMMUNITY IMPACT
The Future Leaders Program brings our mission to life by recognizing the next generation of leaders in the communities where our members live and lead.
LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE
By supporting organizations like Our Community Salutes and Stars of Honor, Vistage celebrates courage, character, and commitment.

Our Community Salutes
Our Community Salutes (OCS) honors high school seniors who have made the decision to enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces after graduation. These students are celebrated at community ceremonies across the country, often attended by veterans, civic leaders, and proud families.
By supporting these events, Vistage recognizes the bravery and leadership of young people who choose service as their path forward—and reinforces our belief that integrity and responsibility are the foundation of great leadership.
Stars of Honor
In partnership with college athletic programs, Stars of Honor recognizes elementary school students who demonstrate outstanding character, academic achievement, and leadership potential.
At halftime during football and basketball games, students are presented with certificates and applauded by thousands of fans. Vistage members and Chairs have the opportunity to present these awards—making a direct and lasting connection with the future leaders of their community.

Moments That Inspire
“Attending the Denver Our Community Salutes ceremony and seeing these high school seniors stand up and commit to serve their country was deeply moving. It reminded me why leadership starts with a willingness to serve something greater than yourself. I’m proud that Vistage is helping celebrate their decision to lead through service.” – Vistage Chair Don Myers
