Berger-Marks Award Will Honor Young Woman Active in Social Justice
A new $10,000 award from the Berger-Marks Foundation will recognize a young woman who has made extraordinary contributions to social justice early in her career.
"The "Edna Award expands Berger-Marks' commitment to young women", said Linda Foley, foundation President and former TNG-CWA President.
"Women are organizing unions; women are leading campaigns for universal health care; and women are demonstrating to young people what social justice means," Foley said. "Our vision for this award is to highlight one young woman's remarkable work for social change."
Women up to 35 years old can be nominated or nominate themselves for the award, which will be presented this fall. Applications, with a short essay, resume and two letters of recommendation, must be submitted online by July 15, 2011.
