Once again, it’s time to think about honoring local League leaders.
The Joan K. Bozer Leadership Award recognizes outstanding leadership that reflects some of the many qualities
that Joan demonstrated in her long experience as a League and community leader.
We selected five key characteristics exhibited by Joan that we feel are essential qualities for recognition: Ethical, Innovative, Resourceful, Respected, Steadfast. Please submit a paragraph of up to 250 words that describes how your nominee embodies these characteristics. Be sure to include each characteristic as you write about your nominee.
The League of Women Voters of Buffalo/Niagara LEE Award is presented to a League member who has made a Long-Term Commitment to the League with Energy and Excellence — in short, the initials “LEE.” The award honors Lenore Tetkowski, Leonore Lambert, and Lenore Banks. Please submit a paragraph of up to 250 words about your nominee in which you note the approximate number of years the person served the League actively, and give examples of her/his Energy and Excellence in League activity.
Please email completed nominations to Terri Parks or mail them to: LWVBN Awards, 1272 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14209 by March 1, 2024.
Be sure your name is noted as the nominator.
We would be very happy to have you help make the decisions for these important recognitions. There will be no
more than two meetings. Please contact Lori Robinson if you’d like to be a member of the selection committee.
Making Democracy Work Award for an Outstanding Leader in our Community
The League of Women Voters is an organization dedicated to improving our systems of government; it is the
organization where active leaders work hard to make democracy work and create positive change in the community.
All of the leaders who have received our Making Democracy Work Award meet these important criteria. As one of the most trusted organizations in Western New York, LWVBN is proud to be part of a community with such dynamic citizens and, like many other Leagues across the country, we are honored to present this award. It is an ideal opportunity to celebrate an individual who exemplifies qualities essential to the wellbeing of our community.
We reach out to our members for nominees. Please use the nomination form that accompanies this edition of the Voter.
