The Boston Joseph Wharton Award:
The Wharton Club of Boston presents the Boston Joseph Wharton Award in recognition of outstanding alumni contributions to the Boston business community and society at large. The award is intended to celebrate the Wharton community's contribution to Boston. It is given to an area alumnus who exemplifies Joseph Wharton's belief that extraordinary business leadership can be a significant force for improving society. Recipients are selected based on three different dimensions: 1) their professional success and accomplishments in business endeavor; 2) their involvement with and contribution to the Boston community; and 3) their engagement with the Wharton community.

The Young Leader Award:
The Young Alumni Leader Award recognizes the outstanding contribution of Wharton's alumni to the Boston business community and society at large. The award is given to an area alumnus under 45 years old who exemplifies Joseph Wharton's belief that extraordinary business leadership can be a significant force for improving society. The selection criteria are the same as for the Club's Boston Joseph Wharton award, recognizing that the candidates are still earlier in their professional and philanthropic careers.
