| HUMPHREY INSTITUTE SEEKS NOMINATIONS FOR THE 2006 HUBERT H. HUMPHREY PUBLIC LEADERSHIP AWARDS
The Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs seeks nominations for the 2006 Hubert
H. Humphrey Public Leadership Awards. This awards program honors individuals
who have made demonstrated contributions to the common good through public leadership
and service. Four awards are given annually: two to leaders (either emerging
or established) and an award to celebrate the work of the Humphrey Institute
of Public Affairs (to a faculty member, student, center, research project, etc.)
A Dean's Award is given to a candidate selected by the Humphrey Institute dean.
Nominations for all three publicly nominated categories must show how the nominee
has:
- Contributed significantly to the common good through public leadership or
service in elected office, the nonprofit/non-governmental sector, community
service, and/or the private sector.
- Such contributions could include altering the political landscape through
a lifetime of public leadership, sustaining a major positive influence through
a career of public service, fostering a sense of community, demonstrating
social entrepreneurship, furthering active citizenship, and/or demonstrating
a significant act of courage in the face of opposition, pressure, or challenging
circumstances.
- Special consideration will be given to nominees who have blurred political
boundaries-whether working across party lines, crossing geo-political borders,
or bridging other traditional divides. Nominees need not be from Minnesota.
To nominate an individual, organization, or project, please submit the following
information:
- Name and contact information of nominee, including address, telephone, fax,
and e-mail
- Name and contact information of nominator(s), including address, telephone,
fax, and e-mail

- Letter of nomination describing how the nominee satisfies the above listed

11 white paper for ease and quality of reproduction. Please do not submit
clippings, brochures, etc. They will be discarded.
Letters of nomination must be postmarked no later than January 31, 2006.
