Recognize Someone Who Inspires You!

Nominate them for an Oley award

 

The Oley awards give us each a chance to acknowledge someone in our life who has inspired us by their courage, perseverance, or willingness to help others. Nominate someone who has earned your respect because of what they have overcome or inspired you by how they live.

The significance of being nominated is great by itself, as each nominee will be recognized at the Oley conference in St. Petersburg, FL. Combine this with the potential of a travel grant (see award descriptions), and this is awesome!

Ring your own bell!

Don’t resist nominating yourself. Tell your story, and/or share examples of how you have helped others along the way. At the very least, it will motivate others.

It’s FREE and easy!

  A simple form  with three, quick questions is all you need to complete. Technophiles can find it on our website: www.oley.org or request a form from Cathy Harrington at harrinc@mail.amc.edu. Just type in your answers — fax it, mail it or click “submit” — and you’re done. Send as many forms as you like.
