Leadership Award

 

Dear Colleague,

This year, the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) is
once again recognizing outstanding individuals personifying leadership,
advocacy, and dedication to and for the disability community at large.  Two
individuals, emerging as leaders in the cross-disability civil rights
movement will each receive $10,000 to help them continue their progress as
leaders and further connect their work with the national grassroots of AAPD.
The recipients of the 2012 Hearne Leadership Awards will meet and network
with national disability leaders at the AAPD Leadership Gala in Washington,
DC in March 2012.  If you or someone you know is an emerging leader in the
disability rights movement, we encourage you to submit an application!
Submissions are due November 1, 2011. The deadline is approaching quickly!

An "emerging leader" is someone who has demonstrated leadership qualities in

passion to the pursuit of inclusion, equality and justice for all people
with disabilities. The ideal candidate is an advocate, teacher, mentor, and
leader within the disability community, and someone who is recognized as
such by his/her peers.  Winners of the 2012 Hearne Leadership

Award must demonstrate:

 

.  Leadership achievements that show a positive impact on the broader

community of people with all disabilities;

. Connections they have made between individuals with disabilities and

others in their communities;

. A positive vision for the disability community and a continuing commitment

to their pursuit of that vision;

. The demonstrated ability to collaborate with other leaders, to follow when
necessary, and to cultivate new leaders within their organizations and
communities; and,

. The potential to contribute to the disability rights movement at a

national level.

 

Former honorees have assumed leadership positions in diverse organizations
and agencies,
