LOS ANGELES--()--Life & News has given a new name to its Transformational Leader of the Year Award. Beginning in 2019, the award will be known as the “Krach Transformational Leader of the Year Award."

The award is given based on leaders’ accomplishments and transformative impact as: An inspirational leader who empowers and unifies diverse teams to achieve a noble cause; a visionary innovator who strategically builds new things that leave lasting legacies; a principled challenger who courageously achieves goals with perseverance and resilience.

According to Life & News' Board of Directors, “In our search for the inaugural 2018 Transformational Leader of the Year, we were hard pressed to find someone more deserving than Keith Krach. Today, we choose to name the award after Mr. Krach in perpetuity because we believe Mr. Krach is without question, a shining model of transformational leadership who will serve as an enduring example to aspiring leaders for many decades to come.”

Since receiving the award in 2018, Mr. Krach has continued to make incredible strides in transformational leadership, including being unanimously endorsed by the United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee to become the next United States Under Secretary for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environmenta post for which the White House nominated Mr. Krach in January, 2019.

In addition to his incredible leap into world-changing transformational diplomacy, Mr. Krach’s clear commitment to mentorship, paying it forward, founding the VMN (Virtual Mentor Network), and freely sharing his life lessons all contributed to Life & News’ decision to name its annual leadership award after Mr. Krach.

To celebrate the official naming of the “Krach Transformational Leader of the Year Award,” Life & News concurrently announced release dates of the inspirational and informative video mini-series, “A Conversation with Keith Krach: Transformational Leadership.”

In the video series, Life & News’ Editorial Director, Viva Bianca interviews Mr. Krach about the most important aspects of transformational leadership. Their conversation delves into transformational leadership methods in action, as experienced and practiced by Mr. Krach throughout his illustrious, ongoing career and life as an exemplary transformational leader.
