Young Townships Leaders Awards
By Michelle Lepitre, Townships Youth Link Coordinator
Last year’s Townships Leaders of Tomorrow Awards recognized 17 individuals and one group for their outstanding leadership qualities – proving beyond any doubt that our young Townshippers are not merely the leaders of tomorrow…they are leaders today!

The Townshippers of Tomorrow committee felt that the Awards needed a new name to highlight this and so, beginning in 2009, the awards will be known as the Young Townships Leaders Awards.  The name may have changed, but the goal has not:  the Young Townships Leaders Awards are intended to recognize outstanding contributions by youth to the English-speaking community of the Eastern Townships.

If you know a young leader, this is your chance to thank them for all of their hard work and dedication.  Thanks to contributions from business partners, each recipient receives a cash prize of $1,000. Young Townships Leaders Awards nomination forms will be available as of April 6, so be sure to pick yours up!
