The Community Foundation is seeking nominations of excellent public school principals as part of The REB Awards for Distinguished Educational Leadership.
The awards identify, recognize and support leadership excellence in the Richmond area. Honorees each receive an unrestricted $7,500 cash grant and $7,500 to be used for school initiatives. Eligible are principals from public schools in Henrico, Chesterfield and Hanover counties and the city of Richmond. Nominees should have served in their current positions for at least three years.
Starting this year, all nominations must be submitted online. To learn more or nominate a principal, visit cfrichmond.org/Grantseekers/REB-Awards-for-Distinguished-Educational-Leadership and click the "Nominate Here" button.
Nominations are invited from students, parents, colleagues, school personnel and administrators and the community at large. Principals may not nominate themselves. As part of their applications, nominators should upload a one- to two-page letter describing the nominee’s distinguished educational leadership. Nominators may also upload as many as three one-page letters of support.
Nominations must be submitted through the foundation’s online portal by 5 p.m. Nov. 7. Hard copies or nominations submitted via email or fax will not be accepted.
