The deadline for nominations for the Jeffrey Clay Erlanger Civility in Public Discourse Award has been extended to Friday, November 15. This award annually honors a resident of the Madison area who demonstrates the collaborative and cooperative spirit exemplified by Jeff Erlanger during his time in Madison's government.

Previous recipients have included various notable figures such as the City's Poet Laureate, former members of the Common Council, leaders in non-profit organizations, a long-time neighborhood association leader, and the Executive Director of the Bayview Foundation.

Organizers emphasize that many effective and collaborative leaders exist throughout Madison. They encourage residents to think of individuals they admire for their volunteer or professional contributions and nominate them. In these challenging times, nominees should be those who actively work with others to make a positive impact.

Both the award recipient and their nominator will have the opportunity to select a local non-profit organization to receive a $250 donation.
