Aetna Voice Of Conscience Award Call for Nominations Announced
Deadline: June 15, 2005

The Aetna Voice of Conscience Award was created in memory of tennis great Arthur Ashe Jr., a member of Aetna’s (<a href="http://www.aetna.com/">http://www.aetna.com/</a>) board of directors for more than ten years and chairman of the Aetna Foundation (<a href="http://www.aetna.com/foundation/">http://www.aetna.com/foundation/</a>) at the time of his death.

The Voice of Conscience Award will be presented to a citizen/leader who emulates the selfless commitment to education, civil rights, health, and human services that Arthur had. The award winner will receive a $50,000 grant for the nonprofit organizations of his or her choice.

Characteristics of the award recipient include a commitment to advancing human rights, opportunity, and dignity; a commitment to serving others, regardless of personal benefit; devotion to achieving humanitarian ideals; a record of accomplishment in civil rights, education, health care, and social equity; a willingness to take risks for challenging causes; and the ability to transcend boundaries across race, culture, class, faith, and ethnicity.
