NCCJ’s mission is to build a compassionate
and just community free of bias, bigotry, and racism. NCCJ does not advocate
for any group or philosophy, but works to build mutual respect among all
people—regardless of race, faith, culture, sexual orientation, gender, or
socioeconomic background. Citation Award nominees must model these
values in all aspects of their lives.
All
residents of the Piedmont Triad are eligible for nomination, with the following
provisions and exclusions:
The nominee may not have previously
been a Citation Award honoree in the Piedmont Triad (please see our website for a full list of previous honorees);
If a nominee has been honored with the
Citation Award in another community, only their work in the Piedmont Triad will
be considered for this award;
The nominee may not hold elective
office except in cases when a) the
individual’s term will be completed within the year, b) they have not filed for
any elective office, and c) filing deadlines have closed;
Current NCCJ board members are generally
not eligible for the Citation Award (however, in special circumstances the
Selection Committee may accept nominations of current board members); and
Submissions will remain active nominations for 3 years. You may submit additional supporting materials to
add to an application submitted within the past 3 years.
