2008 Rural Champion Awards: Call for Nominations
Deadline: November 16, 2008
The California State Rural Health Association is requesting nominations for the 2008 Rural Champion Awards. These awards will be presented at the 8th Annual Rural Health Conference during the Awards Luncheon on Tuesday, December 2 from 12:30 – 1:30pm. We hope you have already made plans to attend the conference and join us in honoring individuals who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and commitment to improving health in rural California.
Last year, CSRHA had the opportunity to recognize the remarkable work of California State Senator Denise Moreno Ducheny for her leadership and commitment to California’s rural communities, and six rural residents were presented with the CSRHA Rural Champion in Community Leadership Award in recognition of their demonstrated leadership, commitment, and distinguished service in rural communities. For a re-cap of last years Rural Awards Luncheon, click here.
Honorees will receive an award from one of the following categories:
- Rural Champion in Community Leadership: The CSRHA Rural Champion in Community Leadership award recognizes a member who has made a significant contribution to advancing rural health at the local or regional level. The recipient is recognized by peers for demonstrated leadership characteristics, commitment, and distinguished service.
- Rural Champion in Legislative Service: The CSRHA Rural Champion in Legislative Service award will be made to either a public official, their staff, or a state advocate who has demonstrated leadership and commitment to advancing rural health at the state level.
Please take a few moments to review the awards criteria, and nominate a deserving individual for each of the above award categories.
Nominations are due Friday, November 16, 2008. Please fax the completed forms to (916) 453-0783 or email to: advocate@csrha.org.
