The Young Leadership Council of New Orleans, one of the oldest Young Professional Organizations in the United States, has named SNW Managing Partner Scott Sternberg as one of its 2023 Role Models.

Sternberg, a former Young Leadership Council Board Member and Project Leader, said the honor was completely unexpected.

"I helped select Role Models and organize the associated events for many years as a younger lawyer, and I know how hard it is to choose the honorees each year," Sternberg said. "To be selected is so humbling. This recognition is only possible because of the support of my family, friends, and this firm."

Each year, the Young Leadership Council selects a group of individuals that contribute to the betterment of the New Orleans community in the following ways:

• Promoting a positive attitude and unyielding desire to enhance the quality of life in our community
• Striving to unite our community in collaborative efforts for its further prosperity
• Serving as an exemplary role model to young professionals
• Taking an effective and vigorous leadership role in our community
• Making specific contributions in his or her specific field of endeavor

The Young Leadership Council will hold an event at the Sazerac House October 6, 2023 to honor Sternberg and the class of 2023 Role Models.
