Nominate a Deserving Hero for Hispanic Heritage Award

The deadline to submit nominations is Monday, September 2, 2013.

As part of the activities of Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration, Conexión Américas is calling for nominations for the 6th Annual ORGULLO HISPANO Award.

The award will recognize three Latino adults or young people who have been persistently, but quietly, working to better their immediate community – neighborhood, school, workplace, nonprofit or civic organization.

Criteria

The ORGULLO HISPANO Award seeks to recognize Latino adults and young people living in Middle Tennessee who:

  • Love what they do, going above and beyond, and do it with contagious passion.
  • Work diligently, avoiding the limelight, because their greatest satisfaction is a job well-done that has a positive impact on others.
  • Demonstrate deep and sustained engagement over time in what they do.
  • Inspire others to get involved.
  • Do not call attention to themselves except as a way to garner attention for their causes.
  • Work hard and unselfishly to make a difference and have not been publicly recognized for their efforts.

Prize

Each of the three winners will be recognized through local media (print and TV). In addition, winners will be featured on Conexión Américas’ website and electronic newsletter. The winners, joined by their friends and family, must be available to attend the award ceremony and reception scheduled for 6 p.m. Saturday, September 28, 2013.
