A statewide organization is now accepting nominations for several awards aimed at honoring those who serve others.
Wisconsin Community Action Program Association’s 2025 Poverty Matters Conference is scheduled for October 1st and 2nd, where they will hand out three awards.
Nominations are being accepted for the WISCAP Self-Sufficiency Award, which recognizes an individual who, with the aid of their local Community Action Agency, has overcome poverty and achieved self-sufficiency.
The Outstanding Friend and Advocate Award will go to a person or group who has demonstrated remarkable achievement in articulating the needs and concerns of the poor or exemplary leadership advancing the causes and principles of community action and service to low-income families.
Finally, the Exceptional Community Action Staff Member Award will be given to a Community Action employee who has demonstrated hard work and embodies the spirit of community action in Wisconsin.
The nomination form can be found at WISCAP.org.
