Individuals are encouraged to nominate transformational, passionate peers, or themselves, by February 5th, 2021. Winners will be announced late February, and honored at YNPN’s virtual Annual Awards Ceremony on March 25th, 2021.
In 2016, YNPN MKE established The Ilona Nicole Memorial Scholarship to support nonprofit leadership pursuit of advanced graduate-level degrees.
