NDSC’s awards and recognition program was established to recognize individuals and organizations whose work and contributions have advanced the mission of NDSC and the lives of individuals with Down syndrome.
Award nominations may be submitted by any person or organization wishing to submit individuals or organizations for selection consideration by the NDSC Board of Directors. Individuals and organizations will be reviewed based on submitted information, as well as other sources that highlight the individual’s or organization’s accomplishments. Self-nominations may be submitted for consideration. The NDSC Board reserves the right to consider nominees from outside of this process to ensure the furthest reach and thoroughness of its awards program. In addition, the NDSC Board may decide to not present a particular award each year.
