The Estonian American National Council (EANC) announces solicitation of award nominees for the 2014 EANC awards program to recognize exceptional Estonian American individuals or organizations.

EANC invites you to submit your nominations for these awards, which were instituted at EANC’s 60th Anniversary Gala in 2012. This year’s awards ceremony will be open to the public at a dinner following EANC’s annual meeting on September 27, 2014 in Stamford, Connecticut.

The program has four award categories. Three award categories are for individuals: one for “Outstanding Achievement,” one for “Distinguished Service,” and one for outstanding contributions to the EANC.

The fourth category is for ”Organizational Excellence,” presented to an organization. As these awards are meant to recognize truly outstanding contributions, EANC will not necessarily give awards in all categories.

Final selections will be made by the EANC board. Written nominations should include the name of the person being nominated, which award category, a brief rationale for the nomination, and contact information for the nominator.

Nominations are due by April 30, 2013. For more details, go to www.estosite.org.
