2021 NJHSA Virtual Conference Awards
The Network is pleased to announce the 2021 Annual Conference Awards. NJHSA is the leading voice for Jewish human service organizations - the go-to resource for advocacy, best practices, research & innovation and partnerships & collaborations; strengthening agencies so that they can better serve their communities and the people who need their help. As such we've designed this year's awards around these core values, in addition to recognizing extraordinary member agency professionals and lay leaders during this unprecedented pandemic. 
Extraordinary Leadership Awards in Response to COVID

The Network is comprised of an exceptionally strong cadre of dedicated professionals and lay leaders who work tirelessly to improve the lives of others.

The NJHSA Extraordinary Leadership Award is designed to publicize the efforts of one professional and one lay leader who work attentively to address the human service needs of their local community, especially their response to COVID.

Honorees may be CEO's/ED's, professionals or volunteers.

Winners will be announced prior to the Conference. The Conference platform will include brief biographies and photos of the honorees and honorees will receive a beautiful award and recognition at the Thursday presentation. Honorees must attend the Conference to receive the award. 
Pillars of Excellence Awards

The Network strives to be the leading voice for member agencies and the broader Jewish human service sector by serving as the go-to resource for advocacy, best practices, innovation and collaboration. It is these 4 pillars that strengthen member agencies, enabling them to best serve their communities through a wide range of human services.
The Network’s Pillars:
Advocacy - Leadership strategy for advancing missions that require taking a public position on a cause or an issue to influence decision making.
Best Practices - Strengthening client service delivery, agency operations or governance with use of evidence based/best practice interventions.
Innovation – A thoughtful and deliberate approach to identifying solutions to challenges.
Collaboration - Building and sustaining meaningful partnerships to advance an agency’s mission.

With its 2021 Awards, NJHSA is seeking sustainable, replicable and creative examples of 1 of the 4 pillars being supported by a member agency. 
SUBMISSIONS

Submissions are due electronically to  Megan Manelli, Director of Marketing and Communications by Friday, February 26th. Agencies must be in good standing with NJHSA. Award winners are required to send a representative to the Conference. Winners will be announced to the Network and broader community prior to the Conference. The Conference platform will include summaries of the wining pillars and extraordinary leaders. Winning agencies will receive a beautiful award and recognition at a plenary presentation. Pillar award winners will be invited to present a webinar in 2020 to showcase their award winning initiatives.
