Alderwoman Milele A. Coggs is inviting residents to submit nominations for the 2023 Dr. James G. White 6th District Difference Makers Awards. Nominees can be individuals or groups that work diligently to improve and strengthen the quality of life for themselves, their neighborhood and the City of Milwaukee.

“Recognizing people and organizations that help make our neighborhoods and our lives better is always important, and we have a large presence of talented and dedicated people and groups who help make the 6th District such an amazing place to live, work and visit,” Alderwoman Coggs said.

“The Dr. James G. White 6th District Difference Makers Awards are an important way in which we can acknowledge the hard work of those groups and individuals,” the Alderwoman said.

The awards are named for the late Dr. James G. White, who lived in the 6th District and served as a county supervisor and the regional vice president of WestCare Wisconsin Harambee Community Center. He facilitated countless neighborhood projects and programs and always used his gifts, talents and knowledge to improve and empower his community.

Four awards will be presented to 6th District residents, one to a community organization and one to a block club, all of which will have contributed to making their neighborhood a better place. Alderwoman Coggs will announce the honorees at the 6th District Town Hall meeting in January 2024.

Nomination forms are available online at Milwaukee.gov/differencemakers, or by calling the Alderwoman’s office at (414) 286-2994 to receive a hard copy of the form by mail. Nominations for the Difference Makers Awards will be accepted from now until the close of business on Friday, January 5, 202
