Do you know an individual, family or organization (community group, business, school, church, etc.) who has significantly impacted Columbia by promoting appreciation for diversity and cultural understanding?
Each year, the Columbia Values Diversity Celebration Planning Committee recognizes citizens who make significant contributions to our community through the Columbia Values Diversity Award program.
These awards honor those whose work exemplifies the life and teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in fostering individual dignity, racial equality, understanding, peacemaking and solving problems through non-violence.
Two awards are presented annually at the Columbia Values Diversity Celebration, one for individuals and families, and one for organizations.
Nominations for the 2011 Columbia Values Diversity Awards are now being submitted. To submit a nomination, go to the City of Columbia’s website.
