See Calendar of Events for future conference dates. If you know of an individual whose skill, commitment and selflessness have significantly impacted your community or organization, please consider nominating him or her for an ALDE Award. Also, we urge all ALDE members to showcase their most successful and creative development work in our Exchange of Ideas Show. See below for descriptions of individual awards. The Outstanding Executive Award is designed to honor a deserving CEO or president who serves the Lutheran church through deed and example.
Judges also consider the individual's service to the church and community at large.
In keeping with tradition, all nominations for this award will remain confidential. The winner will be selected without his or her personal input and will not be notified until the awards ceremony. The Chapter Leadership Award is designed to honor an ALDE chapter member for exhibiting extraordinary effort in leading a regional chapter and providing a model of exemplary chapter leadership. To participate, simply display and explain your work in a way that fellow members can learn about and benefit from your idea. Several entries will be recognized, and one entry will be selected to receive ALDE's Creativity Award.
