FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE H.W. BUSH 41ST U.S. PRESIDENT
In 2002, President George H. W. Bush during his State of the Union Address, challenged each American to make time to help their neighbors, community, and nation through service. He called on each person to dedicate at least two years – to service over the course of their lives.
​
In 2003, the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation founded the President’s Award to honor outstanding men and women who give their time to humanitarianism volunteering and helping their communities.​
The Presidential Lifetime Achievement Awards has rapidly become recognized as an immense honor and highly anticipated annual event.

The Presidential Lifetime Achievement Awards Honor Exceptional Leaders Throughout the Nation
​
Heart Bible International University with its founder Dr. Mcintosh is honored to celebrate great men and women who have served their community.
​
“It’s a wonderful experience to be able to honor men and women who are committed to seeing lasting change, knowing that they’re true humanitarians who have served the community faithfully… giving [their] service, sometimes without being compensated for it, but just doing what [they’re] doing because [they] love to serve. Without true humanitarians, our world would be in a terrible place…Our local police department, those that work in the hospitals, etc they are humanitarians… and [they] deserve to be honored,”
