"Our heroes are being selected on their personal stories, their passion and their work. We don't want to see those scripted bios. We don't need that cut and paste from a website. What we want is for nominees and nominators to tell us in their own words what makes that hero tick, who benefits? And tell us a little bit about their story."

Join me as Pam shares the heart and soul of the Local Heroes awards and recognition program, while diving into a funding provider's mind. You will get insights into how a funding provider thinks when creating and then assessing a funding program.
