The Peter B. Goldberg ARAMARK Building Community Executive Leadership Award honors one outstanding community center executive director/CEO for active voice and leadership on behalf of the community center movement. Nominees’ agencies will be asked to complete a short questionnaire and dossier to confirm eligibility. They will then be vetted and verified through an internal executive leadership panel of Alliance, UNCA, and ARAMARK representatives. Finalists will be identified based on pre-determined criteria and an independent committee will select the winner. The award comes with a $40,000 grant to the recipient’s community center.
