Community Impact Awards: These awards were presented at the Community Assembly on June 3, 2008 to five different recipients for their outstanding contributions to helping people in the Midlands.
Humanitarian of the Year Award: This award is given each year to an individual or couple who clearly demonstrate extraordinary leadership in philanthropic and human services. Highly selective criteria make it the single honor of philanthropic achievement in the Midlands. Among other criteria, nominees must provide outstanding leadership working with others over a sustained period. The 2007 recipients, Suzan D. Boyd and M. Edward Sellers, were recognized on February 21, 2008.
LIVE UNITED Volunteer Award: Even if you are aware that United Way of America recently launched its LIVE UNITED campaign, you may still be wondering what it means to actually "LIVE UNITED." It's a credo. A mission. A goal. But more, it is a command. To give, advocate and volunteer in order to improve the lives of everyone. Seven LIVE UNITED Awards were given at Community Assembly on June 3, 2008 to people who not only understand what it means to Live United, but demonstrate it every day.
