The Frederick Nonprofit Alliance of the Frederick County Chamber of Commerce is now accepting nominations for their annual Touching Lives in Frederick County Awards. These awards honor the dedicated employees of 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations who provide direct service to members of our community.
The Touching Lives Award offers a moment of public recognition for non-management staff members who have demonstrated outstanding involvement and commitment to those they serve. Nominees are not required to belong to an organization that is a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
The Touching Lives Awards seek to recognize individuals who:
- Exemplify their nonprofit’s organizational mission
- Demonstrate one or more of the following traits: compassion, dedication, collaboration, innovation and/or leadership.
- Improve the lives of people they serve
- Are involved in the community
Submissions are judged based upon the the strength and merit of the submission received.
The nomination application and other information can be found online at frederickchamber.org/touchinglivesnominations.
The deadline for submissions is February 22, 2023.
“We often see the positive impact nonprofits have on our community, but we forget there are people behind that impact. People who have dedicated their time, talents, and hard work to fulfilling a need. The Touching Lives Award allows us to appreciate and share those people’s stories and – hopefully – inspire others to do good in the world,” Sarah Lynn, Co-Chair of the Frederick Nonprofit Alliance.
Touching Lives winners will be acknowledged through a number of outlets including the Touching Lives Awards page, multiple social media platforms, via email newsletter to over 5,000 subscribers and through announcements to various media outlets. Winners will also be personally recognized with a special award at their office by members of the The Frederick Nonprofit Alliance.
