AAPD Accepting Applications for 2010 Hearne Leadership Awards
The Paul G. Hearne Award is an annual award presented by AAPD as an initiative to recognize and honor emerging leaders within the national cross-disability civil rights movement. The award is named in honor of Mr. Paul G. Hearne, a pioneer, advocate, activist, and national leader for people with disabilities.
Each year, AAPD selects up to two individuals whose work, life, and passion mirrors the life and legacy of Mr. Hearne. Award recipients will each receive $10,000 to help them continue their progress as leaders. They will also have an opportunity to meet and network with national disability leaders at the AAPD Leadership Gala in Washington, DC each March. U.S. residents with any type of disability are eligible to apply.
