[Katalin Fabian]

crossposted from PNDFord Foundation Invites Nominations for Leadership for
        a Changing World Program

 Deadline: January 7, 2003

 Leadership for a Changing World, an initiative of the Ford
 Foundation ( http://www.fordfound.org/ ), in partnership
 with the Advocacy Institute ( http://www.advocacy.org ) and
 the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at
 New York University ( http://www.nyu.edu/wagner/ ), seeks
 to recognize, strengthen, and support emerging leaders and
 to highlight the importance of community leadership in
 improving lives. The program annually recognizes twenty
 outstanding leaders or leadership groups not yet broadly
 known beyond their immediate community or field.

 Leaders recognized by are active in a range of areas and
 fields, including economic and community development, human
 rights, the arts, education, human development, sexual and
 reproductive health, religion, media, and the environment.
 Awardees will receive $100,000 over two years to support
 their work and will be provided an Independent Learning
 Account of $30,000 for supporting activities that advance
 their efforts. The funds will be made available to the
 nonprofit organization associated with the awardee.
 (Arrangements can be made for fiscal agents if awardees
 are not formally associated with a 501(c)(3) organization.)

 Over the two-year program, awardees will participate in
 semi-annual program-wide meetings designed to provide oppor-
 tunities for shared learning and collaboration among
 awardees and other leaders. Awardees will work with program
 officials to help raise public awareness of their efforts
 and to explore their unique approaches to leadership, and
 will also contribute to a research effort to deepen under-
 standing of leadership in communities.

 Nominators are invited to identify leaders who demonstrate
 a range of qualities, including the ability to find effec-
 tive, systemic solutions to tough social problems. The
 program is looking for leaders largely unrecognized outside
 of their field or community as well as leadership that is
 sustainable beyond any individual effort. Nominees must be
 U.S. residents working on domestic issues and must have
 been involved in the work for which they are being nominated
 for at least four years. A nominator may be anyone who is
 well acquainted with the nominated leader or the leadership
 group and can attest to the qualifications of the nominee.
