EXCELLENCE IN MISSION AWARD 2017

The Excellence in Mission Award is given annually at the Bishop’s Banquet, to be held this year at the Riverside Hotel in Boise on April 29th. The Award honors a lay person in the Episcopal Church in Idaho who exemplifies in his or her mission and ministry, our call to be the hands and heart of Jesus in the world. This person should be active in the church and beyond it. He or she may be instrumental in one big project or faithfully sustaining several ministries. Jesus raised the dead, but he also made supper.

To make a nomination, please write a letter describing your nominee and the work he or she does that inspires you. Try to be as specific as possible about the activities and projects he or she are involved with. Tell us about the mission and how this work makes the world and the community a better place. It is also helpful to ask those who work closely with the nominee to write letters as well. You want the awards committee to see the most complete picture is of your nominee and the ministry.

Please send the letters and this form to the address at the bottom of the form. Nominations are due January 31. You will be contacted by the committee if your nominee is selected for the Excellence in Mission award. If your nominee is not selected, please consider nominating them again. The Diocese of Idaho is a big place with many amazing and active members!

Anyone chosen to receive the Excellence in Mission Award must be able to attend and speak at the Bishop’s Banquet on April 29th. If the nominee selected is not able or willing to do that, another nominee will be selected to receive the award. It is a good idea to make sure that your nominee will be able to meet these requirements.
