Lenawee Community Foundation | Nominations open for annual community awards
The Lenawee Community Foundation is seeking nominations for three awards that will be presented at our annual meeting on April 27, 2023. These three awards are the Lenawee Leadership Award, the Stubnitz Award and the Incito Award.
The Lenawee Leadership Award honors individuals or couples who exemplify the underlying principle that the future of our county will be determined by the quality of its leadership. Selection criteria include residency and volunteer service in Lenawee County, leadership over time, and volunteerism in a variety of ways in the areas of civic projects, culture, health, education or social services. Formerly known as the Maple Leaf Award, the Lenawee Leadership Award acknowledges the countywide focus and encompasses all aspects of the quality of life in Lenawee. The award is a perfect fit with the Lenawee Community Foundation, its philanthropic leadership and its mission to enhance the quality of life of the citizens of Lenawee in the areas of civic projects, culture, health, education and social services.
The Stubnitz Award recognizes a person demonstrating exemplary commitment to Lenawee County through volunteering with health and human service organizations and assisting with meeting the basic needs of local residents. This award is named in memory of Maurice Stubnitz, founder of Stubnitz-Greene Spring Corp. in Adrian in the 1930s and community philanthropist. The award recipient will exemplify Lenawee Cares, a program of the Lenawee Community Foundation.
The Incito Award honors a young person, age 40 and under, who has emerged as a community leader by demonstrating commitment to volunteerism, philanthropy, and leadership with Lenawee Cares and other organizations in our community. The award is named "incito," which is defined to inspire, excite, spur, increase, hasten or urge forward. The award will recognize an active volunteer who volunteers through Lenawee Cares and exemplifies a spirit of caring.
The Lenawee Community Foundation is honored to recognize outstanding community volunteers and leaders and the impact they have on our community today and into the future. Please consider submitting a nomination for the Lenawee Leadership, Stubnitz or Incito awards.
