AGLA Arlington Equality Award Nominations Due on Friday, Nov. 16

AGLA's Arlington Equality Awards is an annual awards presentation celebrating the achievement of one individual and one organization with a demonstrable record of improving equality in Arlington. Three members of the AGLA board will select the 2007 winners, who will be our guests at the December Holiday Party, where we will announce the winners and present their certificates.

Nomination guidelines:

• Your name and contact information (only AGLA members in good standing may make nominations. E-mail membership@agla.org if you aren't sure of your membership status.)
• Nominee's name and contact information (no Arlington residency requirement, but efforts benefit Arlingtonians)
• Nominee's contributions, accomplishments, and affiliations

Consider individuals and organizations (whether LGBT or allies) who have made a difference in our county, whose activities show commitment to equality for all Arlingtonians.

The award certificate states: for enduring commitment to equality for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender residents of Arlington County.
