Empower Missouri\u2019s storied history and the progress we\u2019ve made has only been possible through the hard work of dedicated volunteers, coalition members, and other partners. We are thrilled to be celebrating this milestone year, and one of the highlights is celebrating the people that have made 125 Years of People-Powered Policy Change possible. We\u2019ll be highlighting Board members, partners and coalition members, and staff throughout the year, but we also want to hear who you want to celebrate! The 125th Anniversary Advocacy Awards is your chance to let us know who you want to recognize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve celebrated the work of our members and partners in many different ways over our history, as part of our Advocacy Awards Brunch, past regional celebrations, or at our annual conference. This year, we\u2019re returning to our history and celebrating our awardees alongside our Anti-Poverty Advocates Summit. The awardees will be recognized on Thursday, October 1st, at our Anniversary Celebration in Columbia, Missouri. We\u2019ll share more details about the celebration, and the Summit (October 1st and 2nd) soon, but in the meantime, we need your help to recognize those individuals, organizations, or coalitions who share our passion and stand alongside us in our work to end poverty in our state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Awards will be given across several categories, and each award is open to anyone in the state of Missouri. More information about each category is below, and nominating only takes a few minutes; just submit this short form<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
