City asks for nominations for disability advocates of the year
The Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities is calling for nominations for disability advocates:
The city of Houston is seeking nominations for this year's Mayor's Disability Advocates of the Year through Aug. 15.
The award seeks to recognize the contribution of community volunteers who have increased an awareness of disability issues, are working to remove barriers to people with disabilities, or who represent disabled people who cannot represent themselves.
Three awards will be given: for an advocate with a disability; an advocate without a disability; and a junior advocate who is 18 years old and under. Award winners will be announced in September, and the awards will be given in October to coincide with National Disability Awareness Month.
Submit nomination letters and supporting information to:
Jeff Anderson
Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities
P.O. Box 1562, Houston, TX 77251-1562
