Celebrating Leaders in Lincoln: Nominations Requested

At a concert we applaud. At a ballgame we hoot and holler. When it’s an individual we know we give them an award. Leadership Lincoln is seeking nominations for people in our community who deserve to be recognized. Those who wish to offer a nomination may now do so online at www.leadershiplincoln.org.

Servant Leader – Each year, to honor Bud Cuca who was a servant leader with Leadership Lincoln, the Bud Cuca Servant Leader award is presented to someone who has lived and embodied the ideas of servant leadership by leading from the heart and working to make Lincoln a better place. Past recipients include Scott Young with the Food Bank of Lincoln, Peter Allman with Lighthouse, Ruth McKinstry with Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach, and Shayne Pearson with The Bay and People’s City Mission.

Mentoring – The Melvin W. Jones Mentoring Award honors Dr. Jones, who mentored many young men and women in Lincoln. If you know someone who has had an impact on others through assisting and mentoring, please consider offering a nomination. Past recipients include T.J. McDowell of Nebraska Wesleyan, State Senator Kathy Campbell, and Tim Linsenmeyer, a City Impact volunteer.
