Press release from CoThinkk:
CoThinkk is gearing up for its fourth year of honoring and celebrating leaders tackling complex issues in Western North Carolina!
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 2019 Leadership, Ally, and Next Generation 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!
Nominations can be submitted through the CoThinkk website using the following link: https://cothinkk.org/community-leader-awards/ between July 19 and Aug. 2. Once we have compiled all of the nominations, we will ask the public to vote using text or our on-line tool Aug. 12-31. CoThinkk will honor eight leaders: four community leaders, two community allies, and two next generation leaders (21 and under).
The CoThinkk community leadership award recipients will be announced at the our Annual Event Shifting the Now: Shaping the Future on Saturday, Oct. 19, which is open to the entire community. Please reserve your seat for our event using the following link: http://bit.ly/CoThinkkAwardNight. For further information or questions, please contact Davia Young at davia.young@cothinkk.org or Tracey Greene-Washington at cothinkk@gmail.com.
● Nominations Available: July 19-Aug. 2
