The Coalition for a Livable Future is seeking nominations for its 2007 Robert L. Liberty Regional Leadership Award. The Regional Leadership Award recognizes and rewards leaders who have made outstanding contributions to the livability of the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan region during the past year. Community members are invited to nominate an individual who has demonstrated initiative and creative leadership for community health and vitality, social justice and/or environmental protection in our region during the past year. The award will be presented at this year’s Regional Livability Summit on April 19, 2007.
The deadline for nominations is March 19, 2007.
The Award is named after Robert L. Liberty in recognition of his outstanding service to the citizens of the Portland metropolitan region, and to the protection of community livability. In past years the Regional Leadership Award has been presented to Diana Lobo, Damascus area citizen leader; Jim Labbe, Urban Conservationist for the Audubon Society; and Jeri Sundvall, Executive Director of Environmental Justice Action Group. All have been tireless advocates for protecting and improving the region’s quality of life, and ensuring that all our region’s residents have the opportunity to live in healthy and sustainable communities.
