Diversity Awards

The Columbia Values Diversity Celebration Planning Committee would like to once again recognize those in our community who have had significant impact in promoting appreciation for diversity and cultural understanding. Their work in our community exemplifies the life and teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in fostering individual dignity, racial equality, understanding, peacemaking, and solving problems through non-violence.

For the 2025 Columbia Values Diversity Awards program, two awards will be presented:
· Individual/family award
· Organization/group award

These awards will be presented at the Columbia Values Diversity Celebration on Wednesday, January 29, 2025.

We invite community members to participate in the process of selecting this year's award recipients. If you know an individual or a group of people who exemplifies Dr. King's teachings, please complete and submit the nomination form by Friday, November 15, 2024:
