CCA is accepting nominations for its annual awards ceremony which will take place on Oct. 26 at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church.
At the ceremony, David Mank, the director of the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community, will present a talk on the new employment opportunities available for people with disabilities.
Award categories include the Kristin Willison Volunteer Service Award, the Business Service Award, the Professional and Community Service Award, the Housing Service Award, the Self-Advocacy Award and the Mayor’s Award.
Last year’s winners include Mary Frasier, who worked to make Monroe County Public Library more accessible.
JD Boruff and Barb Dunbar of the Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department were also recognized for helping integrate Stone Belt crew members into their team.
Trish Ierino was another 2014 recipient due to her work as a volunteer and president of the Stone Belt board of directors.
“The dedicated members of the CCA continue to work to improve Bloomington’s accessibility to individuals with disabilities,” Mayor Mark Kruzan said in a press release.
“This is definitely an achievement that we can all celebrate and recognize the time, effort and commitment of people who are constantly working to better their community.”
Nomination forms can be filled out online at bloomington.in.gov/cca, and they are due Oct. 9.
