The Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs seeks nominations for the 2008 Hubert H. Humphrey Public Leadership Awards. This awards program honors individuals and organizations that have made contributions to the common good through public leadership and service. Four awards are given annually: two awards to outstanding leaders (either emerging or established) and one award to celebrate the work of the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs (to a faculty member, student, center, research project, etc.). A Dean’s Award is given to a candidate selected by the Humphrey Institute dean. Past recipients of the Dean’s Award include former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright, members of the 9-11 Commission, and peace envoy Senator George Mitchell. Scroll down for a complete list of previous winners.
Nominations for all three publicly nominated categories must be submitted in writing and should indicate how the nominee has contributed significantly to the common good through public leadership or service in elected office, the nonprofit/non-governmental sector, community service, and/or the private sector. Such contributions could include altering the political landscape through a lifetime of public leadership, sustaining a major positive influence through a career of public service, fostering a sense of community, demonstrating social entrepreneurship, furthering active citizenship, and/or demonstrating a significant act of courage in the face of opposition, pressure, or challenging circumstances.
Special consideration will be given to nominees who have blurred political boundaries—whether working across party lines, crossing geo-political borders, or bridging other traditional divides. Nominees need not be from Minnesota.
To nominate an individual, organization, or project, please submit the following information:
- Name and contact information of nominee, including address, telephone, fax, and e-mail
- Name and contact information of nominator(s), including address, telephone, fax, and e-mail
- Resume OR summary of accomplishments of nominee, not to exceed two pages
- Letter of nomination describing how the nominee satisfies the above listed criteria (not to exceed one page).
Letters of nomination must be postmarked or submitted online no later than February 15, 2008. Only letters with all contact information will be considered. Nominations may be submitted online or via regular mail, special delivery, e-mail, or fax. The names of the nominees and nominators will be held in confidence. Nominations must be submitted on 8 1/2 x 11 white paper for ease and quality of reproduction (except for online submissions). Please do not submit clippings, brochures, or other attachments; they will be discarded.

More About the Awards
The Hubert H. Humphrey Public Leadership Awards were inaugurated in 2003 to mark the 25th anniversary of the Institute taking the name of Minnesota's most famous public servant. The awards honor individuals, organizations, or projects that have made contributions to the common good through public leadership and service. Award winners are chosen through a nomination process each spring.
To support future leaders, the gala dinner also is a scholarship fundraiser. Proceeds from the event benefit a student scholarship initiative of the Humphrey Institute Advisory Council. Since its inception in 2003, the Public Leadership Awards dinner has raised more than $300,000 for student scholarships.
