Communities in Schools North Carolina

Power of One Award

H. Glenn Williams was a long-time CIS volunteer and champion for children across North Carolina. Glenn was gracious and good-natured, and always had a friendly smile or a kind word ready for everyone. Because he was a man of faith, he brought joy wherever he went and found joy in everything he did, particularly in the smiles of the children he worked to help. He gave so many moments, days and years to help people. No task was too small or too large, and Glenn always helped with incredible enthusiasm. Glenn was an inspiration to everyone who knew him and exemplified the "Power of One."

For more than five years, the H. Glenn Williams Power of One Award has honored individuals, corporations and organizations across the state that have positively impacted the lives of North Carolina youth. Nominees are not required to have been involved with Communities In Schools, but should have demonstrated contributions of time and/or resources to educational efforts in North Carolina. A distinguished panel of North Carolina leaders will select Power of One Award recipients, who will be honored at a reception in the fall. In addition, a $1,000 contribution will be made in their name to the charity of their choice.

We invite citizens across North Carolina to nominate an individual, organization or corporation for the awards. A short nomination form can be found below and must be received by July 29, 2010.
