2016 Point Leadership Award

Pete Nowalk Creator and Executive Producer of ABC's "How to Get Away with Murder"

With producer credits for both "Scandal" and "Grey's Anatomy" it is safe to say Nowalk has a talent for telling unique and interesting stories with complex characters that keep audiences on the edge of their seats. Nowalk graduated from Brown University and currently resides in Los Angeles, CA.

2016 Point Legend Award

Greg Louganis  Olympic diver, author, advocate and designer

Louganis has earned five Olympic medals, five World Championship titles and 47 national titles — more than anyone in U.S. history. After testing positive for HIV, he bravely came out as a gay athlete and chronicled the experience in his autobiography “Breaking the Surface.” Louganis’ documentary “Back on Board” can be seen on HBO. Read about the event and see photos at Gay City News.
