Cardinals team president Michael Bidwill will be honored with the Vision Award from the Greater Phoenix Convention and Visitors Bureau (Visit Phoenix) in recognition of his role in bringing Super Bowl XLIX and the 2015 Pro Bowl to Arizona. Bidwill will receive the award Thursday night at the Visit Phoenix 2015 Annual Meeting at the Desert Botanical Gardens.
Bidwill will be just the fourth individual to receive the rarely presented Vision Award, which recognizes exceptional leadership in establishing product and infrastructure that markedly alters the visitor industry in a permanent manner. The three previous recipients were Phoenix mayors Skip Rimsza and Phil Gordon and former Suns and Diamondbacks owner Jerry Colangelo.
