CoThinkk is the first of its kind in Western North Carolina, designed specifically to create supportive networks, accelerate systemic change and seed new initiatives through a shared leadership model that is both alternative and complementary to traditional philanthropy. We are kicking off our 2022 leadership awards by asking the community to nominate leaders of color and allies who are playing a critical role in the social change ecosystem of Western NC and working to shift the narrative of communities of color!
Nominations will be open from: July 2-12, 2022
Once we have compiled all of the nominations we will ask for a public vote.
The public voting process will be open: July 18-31, 2022.
CoThinkk will award eight total awards: four community leadership awards, two next generation awards (21 and under) and two highlighting community allies.
The CoThinkk community leadership award recipients will be announced at our virtual annual event. More details to come!
