The Denver Public Library is seeking nominations for its ninth annual Latino Community Service Awards. The Library offers two awards; nominations are being accepted through Friday, February 19.
The Lena L. Archuleta Community Service Award honors a Coloradan of Latino descent who has made an impact on the cultural life of the community through his or her involvement with the Denver Public Library or another civic institution. Members of the general community, including those affiliated with the Library, may be considered for the award.
The Cesar Chavez Latino Leadership Hall of Fame Award celebrates the achievements of two individuals (one male, one female) who have made major contributions in a particular field that positively impacted Denver ’s Latino community. Past winners have included U.S. Senator Ken Salazar, former councilwoman Rosemary Rodriguez, the Reverend Lucia Guzman, and Mayor Federico Pena.
Nominations can be e-mailed to Consuelo Cosio, public relations coordinator, ccosio@denverlibrary.org.
