Do you know of a deserving senior who demonstrates outstanding services as a servant leader on campus or in the community? Both employees and students can honor that person and the activity of voluntary service by nominating him or her for a C.W. Perry Servant Leadership Award.

The trustees of the Barney II and Moore Foundations established the C.W. Perry Servant Leadership Award at George Fox to reward leadership in the area of community and ministry service.

Only seniors (graduating in April 2018) are eligible for consideration. Up to four $1,000 awards will be given annually. Each award recipient will be required to set aside $250 of this gift to the charitable organization of his or her choice. The remaining $750 will be distributed to the award recipient in the form of a cash award.

The aim of the award is to promote the ideals of servant leadership in the George Fox community. In order for your nominee to qualify, this nomination form must be received by Monday, Feb. 26. Your georgefox.edu username will be recorded when you submit this form.

If you have any questions, please contact Stephanie St. Cyr at sstcyr@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2306.
