Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation Invites Nominations for Inclusion Champion Award

The Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation works to help young people with physical, mental, or learning disabilities to lead full and productive lives.

The MEAF Inclusion Champion Award honors individuals who have made significant efforts to promote the full inclusion of youth with disabilities in society. The focus of the efforts may include, but is not limited to, helping to create a culture of inclusion within an organization or community or developing innovative strategies for inclusive programming in school activities, after-school programs, community service, and leadership development.

The Inclusion Champion is selected each year by a panel of experts in the field, and is presented during the Kids Included Together annual conference. The award consists of a trophy and $1,000 donated to the charity of the awardee's choice.

Criteria for selection include evidence that the nominee's efforts have changed attitudes, increased inclusion, made a measurable impact on the lives of young people with and without disabilities, and promoted sustainability of inclusion outcomes.
