CHILDREN’S CHAMPION AWARD NOMINATION DETAILS

The Triad Early Childhood Council serves the counties of Clear Creek, Gilpin, and Jefferson. The Children’s Champion award is designed to recognize those individuals and organizations that have gone above and beyond the requirements of their job to ensure that the counties have services for children birth – 8 that are comprehensive, of high quality, and accessible. The award was first presented in 2008 and has been given to a variety of individuals and organizations.

Do you know someone or an organization that made a significant difference in the lives of young children and their families? Is there a program, policy, or service that has been improved as a result of the advocacy or work of an individual or organization? We want to recognize these often “unsung heroes”!

We are seeking nominations of individuals/organizations that have the following characteristics:

  • They work across systems, agencies, and organizations. That means that they are connected to many different organizations (such as Public Schools, early learning, Public Health, Community Centered Board, Department of Human Services, Law Enforcement, business community, faith community, political system, etc.). We are seeking those who do more than just sit on a variety of committees. We are looking for people who are actively involved and action oriented.
  • They invest significant amounts of time and/or resources. We are seeking those who help generate, increase or leverage resources that enhance services.
  • They think “outside of the box” to look at different, and more responsive ways of meeting the needs of children and families
  • They demonstrate a passion and concern for the well-being of children.

Everyone knows someone who is a true “Champion for Children”. Please help us honor them by completing and returning the nomination form. All nominees will be recognized, and award winners will be announced during the luncheon at the upcoming Triad “Linking Communities for Success” conference on April 27, 2018 at the Arvada Center.
