Awardees will be selected by considering several dimensions: scope of the nominee’s impact on their organization and community; extent to which the nominee drove this initiative; and the individual reputation or professional risk taken by the nominee. The nominations form can be accessed online through August 1^st at http://bit.ly/cr-awards.   About the COMMIT!Forum  www.commitforum.com The COMMIT!Forum, calls people to commit to changing the world.
