Know any people or groups who are making a difference in Long Beach and making it a better place for all? If so the James Irvine Foundation is interested in hearing from you. The group is looking for nominees for its 2011 James Irvine Foundation Leadership Awards"
According to the group: "The awards recognize innovative, effective leaders working to improve California's future. The award includes $125,000 in organizational support, plus additional resources so that recipients can share their effective program models with policymakers and others in their field.
The foundation is seeking inclusive leaders working on significant state issues who are ready to share their successful approaches. Nominees can work in any field - such as education, health, housing, economic development or the environment - and in the public, private or nonprofit sector.
Four to six award recipients will be announced at a Sacramento awards luncheon in February 2011.
To nominate a leader or learn about past award recipients, please visit http://irvine.org/leadership.
Completed nomination materials -- either online or mailed submissions -- must be received by 5 p.m. on Friday, July 9, 2010.
