Since 1978, the Ad Council has been recognizing exceptional individuals with the Lantern Award. This award is presented to long-standing volunteers of the Ad Council for exceptional support and commitment. As you can see from the list of past winners below, this award list reads like a who’s who of the marketing and nonprofit communities. Each year, the Ad Council thoughtfully selects two outstanding volunteers to be added to this list of outstanding list of individuals. Award winners are honored in front of 400+ people at the Ad Council’s Annual Luncheon.
