Badass Of The Week: Leslie Bohl

Leslie Bohl is celebrating her 20th anniversary of waking up and starting the day for South Texans as anchor of “News 4 San Antonio Today” weekday mornings 4:30-7:00 on WOAI-TV, this month.  You can also see her at the helm of the “News 4 San Antonio at Noon“. In addition, Leslie served as host and correspondent for lifestyle show, “San Antonio Living” for 15 years. Her reporting has greatly ranged from political elections to hurricanes and natural disasters to the Olympics.  Her assignments have taken her all across the US, Mexico, and Europe. She’s interviewed presidents, A-list actors, CEOs of national companies,  and visionaries. Her favorite story to tell is one of the resilience of the human spirit: ordinary people doing extraordinary things especially during times of challenge.  She has been bestowed a Gracie Award for her medical reporting. We admire her positive spirit, ambition, and her willingness to always share the good news. Way to go, Leslie!

During her time in broadcasting, Leslie has helped local charities and community groups raise millions of dollars for various projects by serving as Mistress of Ceremonies, Moderator, Emcee and volunteer.  She also has served on various boards including the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Board and San Antonio Rodeo committee. Currently, she is a part of the Catholic Charities Advisory Board.  Leslie also has a long history serving her community from helping teach Faith Formation classes at her church, to volunteering at her daughter’s school and working for the Junior League of SA. She is currently raising awareness and funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through its Woman of the Year campaign. You can donate directly HERE.

Leslie graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Journalism and a Bachelor of Arts in Government. Her biggest and proudest accomplishment is being a mom and mentor to daughters, Bailey and Tabitha.
