The Paul Wolff Accessibility Advocacy Award
Every year, individuals, organizations, and businesses within San Luis Obispo County make exemplary contributions of time, energy and talents toward the creation of a barrier-free community for people with disabilities. These individuals, organizations, and businesses are nominated and recognized annually through the Paul Wolff Accessibility Advocacy Award, a donor endowment held by the Community Foundation.
Goal: The purpose of the Paul Wolff Accessibility Advocacy Award is to recognize and reward an individual, organization and business (3 awards) making an exemplary contribution toward the creation of a barrier-free community for people with disabilities in San Luis Obispo County during the past year.
Eligibility: Nominees should be individuals, organizations, and businesses (3 awards) who have made significant contributions toward breaking down physical, attitudinal, or informational barriers during the previous calendar year. They should show consistent advocacy toward accessibility or be involved in making important progress towards equality for people with disabilities. If a nominee is an individual, organization, and businesses who already serves this population, they should exhibit commitment above and beyond the call of duty.
Nomination and Selection Process: Nominees for the award will be solicited from the public at large, as well as from Chambers of Commerce, Cities and the County of San Luis Obispo. Awards will be given to an individual, a community organization, and a business (3 awards). Nominations will be accepted in each of these categories. The winner will be chosen by the Award Selection Committee comprised of representatives from organizations who serve people with all types of disabilities.
