call for nominations
The Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs seeks nominations for the 2007 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 done the following:
-
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.

-
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
