Schweitzer Leadership Award Nomination Form

 

The Albert Schweitzer Fellowship (ASF)'s Schweitzer Leadership Awards recognize individuals local to ASF’s 13 U.S. Program sites whose life examples have significantly mitigated the social determinants of health in their communities, and whose commitments to service have influenced and inspired others.

The award bears the name of Nobel Peace Laureate Dr. Albert Schweitzer, a pioneering physician-humanitarian who was one of the 20th century’s most admired global citizens.

The Schweitzer Leadership Award will be presented at each U.S. Schweitzer program site’s Celebration of Service (the event marking the culmination of the Fellowship year). Exact details will vary by location, but in general, the Award package will include:

• The opportunity to deliver a brief keynote speech at the Celebration of Service;
• Special recognition at ASF’s annual national conference (to be held in Boston on Nov. 2-3, 2012).
• A physical Schweitzer Leadership Award plaque/trophy;
• A day of service at the recipient’s chosen nonprofit/charity organized by the local 2012-13 class of Schweitzer Fellows; and
• Coverage across ASF’s communications platforms.

Schweitzer Leadership Award nominations are open to the public. The nomination period closes on March 1, 2012. Local ASF program site directors and their advisory boards will make final selections.
