Purpose and Qualifications for Award:One of the hallmarks of the FCL program is to assist members of a community in taking control of their lives and changing the world for the better. The application of this goal is demonstrated when an FCL trained individual (or team of individuals) assists a community group in actually bringing about the change. In order for that to happen, there must be education and leadership. But the award is given to someone who has the FCL training and has provided education and leadership to a community group beyond the membership of FCE. The result is the empowerment of that community group and the actions taken by it. The nomination from must clearly indicate the community action as well as the involvement of the nominee(s).
Eligibility:This award is sponsored by the National Association for Family and Community Education and was developed with W. K. Kellogg Foundation funds. Any individual/team who has completed 30 hours of Family Community Leadership training is eligible except National Board members who are not eligible while serving on the National Board and one year following their service. Individuals/trams nominated in previous years are eligible to be nominated again. Nominated individual(s) must have the completed/worked on their actions within the past three years.
Procedure: There may be one nomination per state. The individual or team is to be nominated through a state FCE organization, though they need not be members of FCE to receive the award. Please complete this form and enclose the supplemental information. Submit copies of application to National Board and mail original with photo to National FCE Headquarters.
