UPAC Leadership Awards Gala 2026
May 12, 2026 5:00 - 9:00 pm
Venue 808, J Street, San Diego, CA, USA
Our Annual Leadership Awards are a time to celebrate those who go above and beyond in service of our clients, their families, and our greater San Diego community. This year, we will spotlight the storied career of UPAC's past President & CEO, Margaret Iwanaga Penrose as she passes the mantle of leadership in this vital time for our cherished organization.
We will also be presenting our annual leadership awards to several individuals and organizations that have been outstanding contributors to the committee for decades, in honor of all their service to our neighbors.
This will be an evening of honoring our past, celebrating our present, and building the future for UPAC's next 50 years of impact.
