The Young Nonprofit Professional Network Baltimore is honoring young professionals at nonprofits who do amazing work. Surely, you know people like this? Hurry up and nominate them for the 2016 Purple Crab Awards!
The Young Nonprofit Professional Network Baltimore's mission is "to advance Baltimore by developing and connecting diverse emerging nonprofit and social sector leaders" and the awards were created to recognize those individuals and organizations in our nonprofit community who are, in short, working to make Baltimore a better place. We have just a few folks like that here at Health Care for the Homeless. Throw your colleagues' hats in the ring.
But hurry! Nominations are due Wednesday, August 24. Award categories and the nomination form are listed here.
Winners will be recognized at A Toast to Talent, on September 20, 2016. They also will receive a year of professional membership to the Young Nonprofit Professional Network Baltimore and free registration for the Baltimore Nonprofit Talent Institute.
Our own Patrick Diamond is a member of the Young Nonprofit Professional Network Baltimore board and happy to field any questions.

On January 1, 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation declared freedom for enslaved individuals in the Confederacy, but those in Galveston, Texas were not made aware until June 19, 1865. This day, also known as Freedom Day, Independence Day, Jubilee Day, Liberation Day, and Emancipation Day, commemorates emancipation and Black liberation. See ways to recognize and celebrate Juneteenth this year!
