The Don Myers Humanitarian Award was established to recognize an individual who has shown leadership and provided community service that has enriched Appalachia.
The award will be presented to a person whose life has been marked by actions that have:
1. Led to the growth and development of the region.
2. Enhanced the fabric of their local community.
3. Reinforced the sense of selflessness and self-reliance so strongly identified within Appalachian communities.
This award is presented each year to a deserving individual by the Development District Association of Appalachia (DDAA) at its annual conference in Washington, D.C.
The deadline for submissions is October 9, 2023. If you have any questions, please email Myers Committee Chair Burke Walker.
