Paul Lee Stevens Humanitarian Award

This prestigious award is the highest honor the Commission bestows on an individual. Mr. Stevens was a well-known humanitarian in the Wilson community for nearly a quarter of a century. The recipients are those who have given unselfishly to help the neediest in our community. Nominations are accepted for those volunteers that have a long standing history in the community for helping the disadvantaged. While many have impactful jobs in the community, the Commission is seeking those volunteers who set out to improve the lives of the needy, lift up the oppressed, make an effort to overcome obstacles, and open doors to solutions. The Commission would like to recognize volunteers who have a proven track record of leadership and service, focusing on human rights, improving the quality of life and justice for all citizens. 

***Reminder:

• All award nominations must be made based on volunteer work, not employment or profession. Should the nominations overlap with employment, the nomination letter must clearly provide evidence or going above and beyond job expectations and responsibilities.
• If the nomination is by a family member or is a self-nomination by an organization, a second letter of support is required and must be submitted by a non-family member or by someone that is not a member of the organization.
