MORTENSEN AWARD 2023
Why is it important to nominate Affirmation Members and Leaders for the Mortensen Award?
Within every organization, there are folks whose leadership skills and commitment to serving others combine to make a real difference in the lives of others and the mission of the organization. Affirmation has such individuals; we want to recognize and honor them. The Mortensen Award is the highest award that a person can receive in Affirmation. This award is named after its first recipient Paul Mortensen to honor his inextinguishable service as one of the founders of Affirmation.
This award reflects immense leadership and dedication to upholding the values and missions of Affirmation in all areas of life, exemplifying what it means to be an Affirmation Community Member and Leader. Affirmation has such individuals; we want to recognize and honor them and need your support to make that possible. We call upon all members and supporters of Affirmation to nominate worthy candidates for this award for 2023.
