Jewel Awards Honor Citywide Servants

The Columbus alumni chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, the nation’s oldest historically Black Greek-letter organization, with the support of the Call and Post News, will honor individuals for their transformation acts of leadership and service to the central Ohio community. The Community Achievement Luncheon: Recognizing Transformational Acts of Leadership in the Community will take place on Saturday, December 6, 2008 at 11:30 a.m. The luncheon is intended to publicly acknowledge, embrace, and encourage transformative acts of leadership and service, and to tell the positive stories of African Americans’ contributions to the Central Ohio Community.

“These are individuals who, like jewels, are hard in their commitment to community action, and yet their actions have an aesthetic quality that enables them to stand out in the eyes of others,” said Dr. Christopher Washington, an Alpha member who chairs the award recipient selection committee.

To determine the 2008 recipients, Washington has assembled a notable committee of Columbus community servants. “Who better to select awards recipients than individuals who have given of themselves in service to others,” said Washington. The selection committee includes: Kevin Boyce, Terry Boyd, Lisa Chambers, Todd Corley, Oyauma Garrison, Shawna Gibbs, Darwin Hollingsworth, Tim Horton, Cecil Jones, Dawn Tyler Lee, Janelle Simmons, Tei Street, and Adam Troy.

Up to seven awards will be given in the following areas:

  • Leadership in Health/Wellness/Medicine
  • Leadership in Education
  • Outstanding Social and Community Service
  • Leadership in Business/Enterprise
  • Thought Leadership in Arts/Performing Arts/Humanities
  • Outstanding Service in Legal/Governmental/Statesmanship
  • Technology Leadership and its Application

The $35-per-plate luncheon will begin at 12:00 p.m. at the Villa Milano, 1630 Schrock Road. Proceeds from the event will fund grants for award recipients and fund academic scholarships administered by the Alpha Rho Lambda Education Foundation.

If you or your organization is interested in nominating an individual for the award, sponsoring an award category, or purchasing tickets to the event, please contact Christopher Washington at luveque@gmail.com.
