James B. Hunter Human Rights Award

The James B. Hunter Human Rights Award is given out each year to four individuals, groups, or businesses that demonstrate a firm dedication to human rights in Arlington County.  Check out http://www.arlingtonva.us/departments/Commissions/HumanRights/news/HumanRightsNewsJamesBHunterAward.aspx for more information on the criteria of the award nominee, guidelines, past recipients and an award application.

From browsing the page of past recipients, I gather that Andres won this award in 2004.  Since he is a recent recipient, I doubt we would want to nominate him again (hey, share the wealth! there are plenty of hard working people in the county).  Would this award be something that your organization would be up for?  or you?  or SEEC?

Award nomination applications (and supporting material- press clippings, letters of support) are due in a week – November 17, 2008.  I would be happy to write a letter on someone’s behalf.
