2nd Annual San Francisco Peacemaker Awards | Friday, June 1, 2012 | The City Club of San Francisco

CALL FOR PEACEMAKER AWARDS NOMINATIONS!

Greetings from Community Boards, San Francisco's not-for-profit conflict resolution center! We provide an array of conflict resolution services: mediation, facilitation, training. Our Neighborhood Mediation Program is the oldest, longest-running public mediation program in the U.S.

In 2011, Community Board launched the San Francisco Peacemaker Awards as part of our 35th anniversary. The three awards honor an individual, an organization and a youth for their contributions in making Bay Area communities safer and healthier places to live.

We need your assistance and guidance in selecting the nominees for the 2nd Annual San Francisco Peacemaker Awards to be held on Friday, June 1, 2011 at The City Club from 11:30-1:30 PM.

As a community stakeholder, please take a moment to nominate individuals and/or organizations working in San Francisco to promote peacemaking through conflict resolution and/or violence prevention through community engagement, services or public education activities.

If you wish to nominate more than one person for the same award, you will need to complete a separate survey.

Please help us get the word out about these awards by sharing this survey with others.

The deadline for nominations is April 1, 2012. We eagerly await your response, and thank you in advance for your participation!
