City of Stillwater Human Rights Award

Each year the Stillwater Human Rights Commission accepts nominations for the Stillwater Human Rights Award.  Throughout the community, people work to build an environment that promotes fair and equal treatment for everyone.  Their special efforts are often unrecognized outside of their own circle of friends, co-workers and neighbors.  The intent of the Stillwater Human Rights Award is to recognize worthy individuals, organizations and businesses, and support them in their efforts.

Eligibility:

1.         The nominee must be an individual, business or organization that resides, works or volunteers in the City of Stillwater, and whose actions promoting respect for all people have occurred primarily in the City of Stillwater.

2.         The nominee’s activities proposed for recognition should be related to enjoyment and protection of human rights without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, disability, sexual orientation, or age.  Added weight will be given for activities of a nominee that have occurred over an extended period of time.

3.         The nominee’s activities must either be voluntary or be above and beyond the usual job responsibilities of an employee, or the usual customer relations practices of a business or organization.
