CITY ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR 9TH ANNUAL MAYOR’S CELEBRATION OF DIVERSITY AWARDS

The City of Indianapolis is now accepting applications for the 9th Annual Mayor’s Celebration of Diversity Awards to be held January 22, 2010.

“It is important that we recognize businesses and organizations that encourage, embrace and celebrate the rich diversity that makes Indianapolis a better place to live, work and raise a family,” said Mayor Ballard. “These awards provide an opportunity to mark the great strides our local businesses are taking as we continue to ‘diversify diversity.”

Recognition for the Mayor’s Celebration of Diversity Awards is based on stellar performance in one or all of the following areas: Workforce Diversity, Development, Community Relations, and Leadership.

Organizations will also be considered for the prestigious Sam H. Jones Award, which is presented to the business that shows exemplary performance in all of the aforementioned categories. This special award is named in honor of the first President of the Indianapolis Urban League, a tireless advocate for peace, justice and the understanding of equality in the Indianapolis community.

To download an application or to nominate a business, visit the Mayor’s website at http://www.indy.gov/eGov/Mayor/Diversity/Diversity_Award/Pages/home.aspx

Completed packets must be submitted by 4:00 P.M., Friday, October 9, 2009 to: Linda Cofer, Project Manager, 200 E. Washington Street, Suite 1501, Indianapolis, IN 46204.
