Alderson Awards

Alderson Awards

The ACT Down Syndrome Association is calling for nominations for this year's
Alderson Awards . Nominations close the 7 March 2013. See the attached
flyers for more information about each award and how to nominate a worthy
individual or organisation.

Kate Louise Alderson Award

This award is to be presented to an individual, appropriate group or
business for actions the Association considers to be a significant
contribution to people with Down syndrome and/or their families in the ACT.

Alderson Family Award for Achievement


The winner of this award will be a person with Down syndrome who has
achieved a significant milestone in his or her life over the past year. The
recipient need not be a member of ACT DSA and nominees may be any age. The
achievement must be significant in the context of the nominee's life, not
necessarily the wider community, for example getting a driver's licence,
finishing Year 10 or HSC, confidently catching public transport, working, or
learning how to play a new sport or instrument.
