Hi John,

I’m excited to announce that the National Immigration Forum’s Leading the Way convening will take place from October 25 to October 28 this year. As part of the event, we will honor leaders and organizations making their community and our country a better place for immigrants with the Forum’s Keepers of the American Dream Award!

Our honorees embody the spirit of immigrant achievement, contribute significantly to the well-being of immigrants in the United States, and are advocates in every sense of the word for the value of immigrants and immigration to the nation. Past honorees include:

• Sister Norma Pimentel, executive director, Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley
• Kumail Nanjiani & Emily V. Gordon, executive producers of Little America
• Postmates
• Pati Jinich, chef & TV host, PBS’s "Pati’s Mexican Table"
• Aleja "Lee" Plaza, home caregiver, Filipino Worker Center, an affiliate of the National Domestic Workers Alliance
• Chief Mark Prosser, retired public safety director & chief of police, Storm Lake, Iowa
• Joe Maddon, manager, Los Angeles Angels & honorary chair, The Hazleton Integration Project
• Cummins

We would love to hear who has inspired you recently. Particularly those who are focusing on the possibilities that lie ahead in this year of hope for our country and its immigrants.

Feel free to reply to this email with honoree ideas or submit them in this form.

Thank you,

Beth Sears
Vice President & Chief of Strategic Partnerships
