The Alice Paul Institute is seeking nominations for the 2015 Alice Paul Equality Awards to be presented at a gala event in March.
The Alice Paul Equality Awards are named in memory of Alice Stokes Paul. Born in Mt. Laurel, Alice Paul dedicated her life to the single cause of securing equal rights for all women. Alice Paul led the final campaign for women’s right to vote. After the 1920 victory, she authored the Equal Rights Amendment and initiated gender equality principles in both the United Nations Charter and in the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
The awards honor individuals from any industry or field who capture the spirit of Alice Paul and as a consequence, either directly or indirectly, continue her mission of advancing women’s equality in America.
Nomination forms can be completed on the Alice Paul Institute’s website, www.alicepaul.org, or by contacting the Institute at (856) 231–1885 or [email protected]. The deadline for submitting nominations is Tuesday, Sept. 30.
