The Alliance needs your help to recognize and honor the breadth of nonprofit talent within our membership network. Again this year the Alliance will honor three member agencies and one direct service staff member at the Alliance National Conference in Houston, Oct. 14-16.

Presented to Alliance members who exemplify the strength and quality of the Alliance membership, these awards are an excellent way to nationally recognize the successes of your organization or the dedication and commitment of a direct service staff member.

The Spirit of the Alliance Award recognizes an individual’s direct service to clients, commitment to his or her organization, and dedicated service to children, families, and communities.

The Alliance Agency of the Year Awards will recognize three Alliance member agencies for their accomplishments.

“This award opened up new doors to new opportunities and renewed the pride of our board and staff by validating the efforts and outcomes of our strategic initiatives. This isn’t a one day recognition; we have reaped benefits from this on a daily basis and will continue to do so for the rest of this year and the future.” – 2008 award winner Teri Zywicki, President and CEO, St. Aemilian-Lakeside, Inc.

“Our board, staff, and volunteers have worked very hard over the years to bring relevant and quality programs to the people of Southwest Louisiana. Receiving the award in 2008 brings a new level of satisfaction in our work and commitment to delivering quality services.” – 2008 award winner Julio Galan, Executive Director, Family & Youth Counseling Agency

Don’t miss your chance to take advantage of this unique opportunity to recognize an outstanding staff member or to nominate an agency which exemplifies excellence within our Alliance network.

We look forward to reading your nominations!
