The Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Board is seeking nominations for the 2009 Pathfinder Awards.
The Pathfinder Award was created in 1986 to recognize individuals or organizations that, in the spirit of King, initiate action toward nonviolence and human rights. The Business Pathfinder Award recognizes equal treatment and peaceful relations in the workplace.
The Young Pathfinder Award was added in 2002 to acknowledge the commitment and courage displayed by area young people to achieve fair treatment for all, create healthy communities and encourage peaceful conflict resolution.
The deadline for the 2009 Pathfinder Award nominations is Monday, Nov. 16.
Pathfinder Award recipients will be honored at the 26th Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Celebration, which will be held Monday, Jan. 18, 2010.
