About Leaders of Impact

Every year across the country, a select group of individuals are nominated to be a part of Leaders of Impact because of their passion and drive to make a difference. This 7-week competition is relentlessly focused on equitable health for all. Launching on World Heart Day, nominees work to build campaign plans, recruit Impact Teams, and inspire their networks to support the American Heart Association’s lifesaving mission

At the end of the campaign, this special group of changemakers will be celebrated for the impact they have on our mission and community. The nominee who makes the greatest impact and raises the most funds locally will be named a local 2024 Leaders of Impact winner. Additionally, the nominee who makes the greatest impact nationwide will be named the American Heart Association 2024 National Leaders of Impact Winner.
