Press release from CoThinkk:
CoThinkk is gearing for our fifth year of honoring and celebrating leaders tackling complex issues in WNC!
CoThinkk is the first of its kind in Western North Carolina, designed specifically to create supportive networks, accelerate systemic change and seed new initiatives through a shared leadership model that is both alternative and complementary to traditional philanthropy. We are kicking off our 2020 leadership and ally awards by asking the community to nominate leaders of color and allies who are playing a critical role in the social change ecosystem of Western NC and working to shift the narrative of communities of color! This year, we want you to nominate the leaders who are interrupting and re-imagining systems. Nominations will be open from September 4th- September 18th, 2020.
Once we have compiled all of the nominations we will ask for a public vote. The public voting process will be open: September 21st – October 10th, 2020. CoThinkk will award eight total awards: four community leadership awards, two next generation awards (21 and under) and two highlighting community allies.
Nominations can be submitted through the CoThinkk website using the following link: https://cothinkk.org/community-leader-awards/
