Families USA is thrilled to inform you about a fantastic opportunity that the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation offers to health care leaders. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Community Health Leaders (CHL) program honors ten outstanding individuals on the front lines of health advocacy each year. One hundred fifty-three individuals have been recognized to-date for their tireless work to improve health and health care in their communities. Recipients of these awards not only join this well-respected group of advocates, but also win $20,000 for their professional development and $105,000 for a defined project at their organizations. We hope that you will nominate someone in your community who is deserving of this prestigious honor. To learn more about the program and the nomination process, please visit their Web site at http://www.communityhealthleaders.org/about. Nominations are due by October 15, 2009. Best of luck!
