Valentine Richmond History Center Seeks Nominations for the
2010 Richmond History Makers
The Valentine Richmond History Center once again has partnered with Leadership Metro Richmond to launch the Richmond History Makers — a program that annually recognizes, honors and celebrates everyday citizens and outstanding organizations making largely unrecognized contributions to their communities.
Nominations are being accepted until June 30 in five categories of distinction and may be individuals, organizations or corporations. Nomination forms and details are available at www.richmondhistorymakers.com and at the Valentine Richmond History Center. An impartial panel of judges comprised of graduates of the Leadership Metro Richmond program and previous History Maker honorees will oversee the nomination and selection process. Honorees will be notified in late July and will be recognized at the Sixth Annual Richmond History Makers Celebration on October 19 at the Valentine Richmond History Center.
Nomination categories:
Creating Quality Educational Opportunities – Nominee has enhanced educational opportunities for citizens, improved academic achievement, or ensured a safe, constructive learning environment
