2012 Community Service Awards

Minnesota’s union members have a distinguished record of community involvement which the Minnesota AFL-CIO recognizes with community service awards.  We need your help to identify nominees for these important awards that will be presented at our September convention.

The Minnesota AFL-CIO Bea Kersten Community Services Project Award honors groups that have made unique contributions to their communities through volunteer service.  The Terrel D. Merriman Community Services Award honors individuals who make unique contributions to their communities through volunteer service.  The Minnesota AFL-CIO Youth Volunteer Award honors young union members or dependents of union members (ages 17-21) who made unique contributions to their community through volunteer service. 

If you have a nominee in mind, please complete the attached nomination form and return it to the Minnesota AFL-CIO by May 31, 2012.  

If you have questions or need assistance, please call Organizing Director Candace Lund at 651-227-7647 or 1-800-652-9004.
