The Estonian American National Council (EANC) announces the establishment of an EANC awards program to recognize Estonian American individuals or organizations in four categories. This tradition will begin at EANC’s 60th anniversary gala on Saturday, September 29, 2012, at the Willard Inter-Continental Hotel in Washington, DC.
The award ceremony will recognize the work of exceptional individuals or entities in preserving and nurturing our Estonian heritage, culture, history, language, or community in the United States, or for outstanding contributions in a field of endeavor.
Three award categories are for individuals: one for “Outstanding Achievement,” one for “Distinguished Service,” and one for outstanding contributions to the EANC. The fourth category will be for ”Organizational Excellence,” presented to an organization. As these awards are meant to recognize truly outstanding contributions, the EANC will not necessarily give awards in all categories at this anniversary gala or on future occasions.
EANC invites all to partake in this historic evening and celebrate our achievements over the past 60 years! Complete details about the gala, including registration forms, are on EANC’s website, www.estosite.org.
EANC is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation, and is funded solely by private donations. Your generous support enables us to continue preserving Estonia’s heritage, culture and future – here in the United States and abroad.
