Zaneeta --
In a nation awash in
divisiveness, there’s a profound need to recognize individuals and
organizations who work together across differences for the best of their
communities and this nation.
That’s why the Bridge
Alliance and Big Tent Nation, organizations committed to the grapple
against partisan rancor and division, have joined forces to announce the
first annual American Civic Collaboration Awards, or the Civvys.
Driven by a panel of civic
engagement leaders, including former members of Congress, key civic leaders
with decades of experience, and political thought leaders, the Civvys will
highlight best practices in collective action that put community and nation
before party, ideology and narrow interests.
The awards will be
presented in a ceremony in Washington, D.C. on October 20, at the close of
National Conference on Citizenship, a distinguished event that brings
together the best minds in civic engagement.
In an era of animosity and
division, it’s more important than ever to celebrate work that strengthens
communities and reflects the collective fabric of American life.
By recognizing projects and
processes that emphasize collaboration, civility and on-the-ground impact,
the Civvys are a powerful means to honor this work and inspire more of it.
Nominations can be made
online at Civvys.org. Anyone is welcome to nominate a person or
group through Friday, September 15, 2017.
Distinguished review
committee members include:
Mickey Edwards, Aspen
Institute
Betsy Hawkings, Democracy Fund
Peter Levine, Tufts University
David Sawyer, Converge for Impact
