Call for Nominations: 2012 Handy L. Lindsey, Jr. Award & Lecture on Inclusiveness in Philanthropy
The Handy L. Lindsey, Jr. Award & Lecture on Inclusiveness in Philanthropy recognizes and honors a member of the local philanthropic community who has demonstrated a commitment to inclusiveness and diversity.
Chicago African Americans in Philanthropy welcomes nominees (current or former program staff, executive, board member/trustee or major donor at a foundation or corporate giving program) who have acted to further the inclusion of African Americans and other under-represented people at decision-making tables. This can include internal practices (that is, foundation staffing, board composition, contractor/vendor selection) and/or grantmaking principles and policies that deliberately encourage inclusive practices in outreach, decision-making, guidelines or programming.
The honoree, who will deliver a lecture with thoughtful remarks and reflections, will be recognized at an awards ceremony in March 2012.
Please complete the nomination form by Friday, January 13, 2012.
