Applications for the 1996 Award for Excellence Program, which honors counties serving disabled Americans, are now available from NACo’s Research Department. Deadline for submission is April 15.
The three-year-old program is sponsored by NACo and the National Organization on Disabilities, in conjunction with the J.C. Penney Co. The $1,000 cash award is given to a NACo member county with the most outstanding program or project targeted at improving the quality of life for disabled Americans.
Programs will be judged on their measured success, ability to be replicated in other communities, innovation, leadership, and community involvement. A panel of five judges, appointed by NACo, will evaluate all applications accordingly. The selection will be made by June 1, 1996 and the award will be presented at the 1996 NACo Annual Conference in Harris County (Houston, Texas).
Call the NACo Research Department today at 202/942-4246 to obtain the award application form and guidelines.
