League of Women Voters of Columbia-Boone County
Awards
The LWVCBC presents three different awards. Two of them are presented annually at our Founders Day event (usually held in December) to an individual and an organization that make a significant impact on the lives of individuals, groups or the community. The two Awards are: the Liz Schmidt Community Service Award which is presented to an organization and the LWV Outstanding Citizen Award recognizes an individual (or individuals) who have made a significant impact on the lives of individuals, groups, or the community as a volunteer or as part of their job.
