Sarasota News Leader November 1, 2013 OPINION Page 85 ASSOCIATION SEEKING ONE WORLD AWARD NOMINATIONS As the Sister Cities Association of Sarasota (SCAS) celebrates 50 years of citizen diplomacy, nominations are being accepted to honor an exceptional individual or organization as the recipient of our annual One World Award. The One World Award is presented to an extraordinary person or organization that, through work, volunteer efforts or philanthropy in Sarasota, has enhanced understanding and respect among people throughout the world. I encourage you to contemplate and submit the names of those who should be recognized for their exceptional work in the international arena — perhaps a neighbor, co-worker, church member or an organization actively engaged in international relationships. Nominations, including an explanation of why the person/organization should be considered for the One World Award, should be submitted to walljb@comcast.net by Nov. 15. SCAS serves a tremendous global need by allowing individuals to strengthen shared interests around the globe and lessen the possibility of world conflicts.
