NOMINATE SOMEONE FOR THE 2010 GLADYS MCCOY CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT AWARD!

The Multnomah County Citizen Involvement Committee (CIC) is currently seeking nominations for the 16th annual Gladys McCoy Citizen Involvement Award, which CIC Chair Brad McLean called “Multnomah County’s Volunteer Hall of Fame.”

Each year the award is given to a Multnomah County volunteer who has contributed substantial time and effort to one or more of the issues once important to former Board of Commissioners Chair Gladys McCoy. The citizen selected for this honor will have made an impact on the local community by being involved in civil rights, affirmative action, human rights, education, environmental issues, local government and/or community issues.

Antoinette Edwards won the award last year for her 20 years of service to low-income families and development of English as a second language programs. This year’s award will be presented during Multnomah County’s Annual Volunteer Award Ceremony on April 27, 2010.

Call (503) 988-3450 to obtain a nomination form, or fill one out online at http://www.multco.us/portal/site/OCI. The deadline for nominations is March 26, 2010.
