On March 8 at the 2022 AMPP Annual Conference + Expo, 50 members of the next generation were awarded scholarships at the EMERGing Leaders Bash. In all, 22 different categories were awarded during a ceremony at the historic Aztec Theatre near the San Antonio Riverwalk.
The ceremony took place from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday night, followed by a celebration of the recipients. Live music was performed by The Grooves Band, and dancing took place from 8 to 11 p.m.
