[From the Comm-Org Newsletter]

Leadership for a Changing World is seeking nominations of community leaders across the country who are successfully tackling tough social problems. Twenty outstanding social justice leaders and leadership teams that are not broadly known beyond their immediate community or field will receive awards of $100,000
to advance their work, plus $30,000 for learning activities that will advance their efforts. The program also includes a major, multi-year research initiative and numerous forums to bring awardees together with other leaders to share experiences, address specific challenges, and explore opportunities for collaboration.

Leadership for a Changing World is a program of the Ford Foundation in partnership with the Washington-based Advocacy Institute, and the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University. Nominations will be accepted by the Advocacy Institute through January 7, 2003. Leaders must be nominated by someone who is well acquainted with their work and
can attest to their qualifications.
