Lone Star Awards Was a Hit!

Congratulations Are In Order!

FWAA is happy to report that the 25th installment of the Lone Star Awards, presented by Stowe’s Services, was a great success! Since 2000, FWAA has positioned this exclusive awards program to showcase the best of the best in the FWAA service area, and we hope to keep doing so into the future!

This year, we had 700 in attendance for a James Bond extravaganza that was not to be missed. Members in attendance got to witness the transition between our previous President, Cayce Coon, and the new President, Bryan Downer. 

Before she stepped down, Cayce made sure to recognize a few people for their hard work and efforts in 2023. 

The 2023 Leadership Lyceum Group

The FWAA Leadership Lyceum empowers multi-housing executives to serve. We provide the path and the connections to create a dynamic leadership experience. Our Lyceum grads design, plan, and host each of our programs, as well as hand-pick and invite future candidates. The vast majority of our future leaders are Lyceum grads.
