Award Nominations

2012 Conference Logo +tag

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MAY 24!

The Community Indicators Consortium is pleased to invite nominations for the Impact Award and two Leadership Awards to be announced prior to our conference in November 2012. 

Impact Award

We are seeking nominations of indicator projects (US or international) that best demonstrate the power of indicators to drive positive community change. Relevant communities will likely be geographical, but can also be topical or demographic communities of shared interest. Projects can be hosted by non-profit organizations, local government entities, foundations or academic institutions.

The purpose of this award is to:

  • celebrate the successes of outstanding indicator projects and the people who create and manage them
  • add to the body of knowledge about best practices in the world of indicators globally
An expert committee will assess applications, with first, second, and third place awards and a number of honorable mentions. 

Well-qualified projects will focus on the use of indicators to analyze and communicate community conditions for the purposes of identifying and understanding issues or conditions of concern and improving them. Successful projects will demonstrate the ways in which they engage their communities to develop and deploy indicators to drive and track community change, and communicate results. The community may be large or small, but the impact of the use of indicators must be significant. CIC is specifically interested in specific positive improvements resulting from the use of indicators and tools and mechanisms used to catalyze action and drive community
change.

Representatives from the winning projects will be invited to speak at the conference and their stories will be published in the Conference Proceedings and on the CIC website.

 

Leadership Awards

We are seeking nominations for Leadership Awards in two categories. Leaders must be employed or retired from nonprofit organizations; local, regional, state, or federal government entities; philanthropic organizations; or academic institutions.

1. Emerging leaders: leaders under the age of 45 that have demonstrated extraordinary contribution to the indicators field with cutting-edge approaches to improving community conditions and well-being.

2. Hall of Heroes: leaders of any age who have had significant, long-term impact on the indicators field and the improvement of community conditions and well-being.

Nominations will be reviewed by at least three experts in the field of indicators who will independently rank and discuss their individual choices to reach consensus on ten finalists for the for the Awards, with the final selection made by a committee of the CIC board.

Timeline

Please submit your nominations by May 24, 2012 (EXTENDED DEADLINE!)
