Nominations sought for Bridge of Light award
The Northern Marianas Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Violence is now accepting nominations for the 2018 Bridge of Light Award.
The award is given each year to honor the accomplishments and sacrifices of one extraordinary individual who has worked diligently to provide safety for the community, to work to end domestic violence and sexual assault, and to be a “Bridge of Light” for victims and survivors in the CNMI.
The nominee may be a service provider, representative, or volunteer at one or more eligible agencies, organizations or offices in the CNMI, and who has been there for a minimum of one year. The nominee must also show dedication and effort in the areas of leadership, service, advocacy for victims, prevention, community education or mobilization, and resource development.

Nomination forms are also available for pick up at the NMCADSV office, or may be emailed upon request through angelyn@endviolencenmi.org.
