Meyer Foundation: 2008 Exponent Awards

The Meyer Foundation invites nominations for the 2008 Exponent Awards.

The Exponent Awards honor up to five exemplary nonprofit leaders who may be in danger of burnout or who would benefit from a leadership development grant to take their skills and organization to a new level. The award comes with a two-year grant of $100,000 for leadership development, which could include coaching, continuing education, or funds to strengthen the board and senior management team.

To qualify, nominees must be the chief executive officer (executive director or president) of an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has received at least two grants from the Meyer Foundation since January 1, 2004. The nominee should have served in their current position for a minimum of three years but maximum of ten years.

The deadline for nominations is close of business Monday, April 7, 2008. If you have been nominated before, you are still eligible to submit a nomination again.

Awardees will be announced in the fall of 2008; a special event will be held in early March 2009.
