The League of Women Voters of Greater Omaha is seeking nominations to its annual LWV Making Democracy  Work Award.  The award, which will honor an individual for her community activism, will be presented February 18, 2008.

The League of Women Voters has had an impact on national, state and local issues for decades.  We want to honor that tradition and those who share our passion for making  a difference through this award.

Nominations are open to any woman  who is or has been part of the work force and has contributed to our community in a meaningful way.  Nominees can apply themselves or may be nominated by a friend,  colleague, or organization.   Click here to view the award application form.  All applications must be received by January 15, 2008.

 
The winner will be announced in February in conjunction with the League’s 88th birthday party.  The League of Women Voters is the premier organization where hands-on work leads to civic improvement. The LWV celebrates community leaders; individuals who have envisioned a way to improve the community and have mobilized others to work with them to effect  a change that has  benefited the broader community.  This award will honor one such individual that has, in the League tradition, helped make our community strong, vibrant,  and fair.

League members are encouraged to nominate members of the community.  However, League members are excluded as potential recipients of this award.
