The Legacy Award recognizes individuals and organizations for their long-standing commitment to adult literacy, as evidenced by outstanding and unique accomplishments in advocacy, programming and funding.

Awards are conferred on an annual basis at the Legacy Awards Luncheon. Acceptance of the award requires attendance at the ceremony and luncheon at Alverno College on Thursday, October 21, 2010 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. All nominations must contain the following to be considered complete:

1. An application completed in full and postmarked or submitted online no later than July 30, 2010.
2. A résumé or curriculum vitae detailing outstanding and unique accomplishments or leadership roles, programming innovations, or funding initiatives in adult literacy. We are most interested in honoring those who have used literacy to:
   • Help the most vulnerable in society, especially women and children.
   • Create a more just society, locally or internationally.
   • Help others transform their lives through education.
3. Any additional supportive material that would assist the awards committee in deliberations.

All nomination materials will be distributed to members of the awards committee, who will choose the honorees upon careful consideration. The committee reserves the right to request additional information about any and all nominees, and may ask to use their photos and writings in producing materials for the ceremony and in future publications. Completed nominations will remain under consideration for three years, after which time a candidate can be nominated again to be considered in subsequent years. The decision of the awards committee is final. Current Milwaukee Achiever employees are not eligible to accept or submit nominations.

Questions regarding the Legacy Awards event and Legacy Award nominations should be directed to Claudia Scholl at 414-463-8822, or by email at cscholl@milwaukeeachiever.org.
