The Saint Paul Foundation is currently seeking nominations for the fourth annual Ambassador Award. This award was established to honor local leaders who are building a sense of community in the East Metro that is respectful, safe, and inclusive. The Ambassador Award will be conferred at an April 19, 2010 ceremony.
The award recipient will be presented with a cash award of $10,000 which she or he may donate to a nonprofit or other public organization that furthers the work of creating a more equitable community in Dakota, Ramsey and/or Washington counties.
If you would like to nominate an individual for the Ambassador Award, you may find complete guidelines, selection criteria and a downloadable application at www.FacingRace.org. All nominations must be postmarked by Friday, December 11, 2009.
The winner of the 2009 Ambassador Award is Dr. Ghafar Lakanwal, whose work to encourage tolerance and share diversity was profiled recently in the Twin Cities Daily Planet.
