If you know of a community sector organisation or individual who has succeeded against the odds, take the extra step to recognise their efforts by filling out a nomination form. The ACT Community Sector Awards will be announced on 7 August at the 2014 ACTCOSS & University of Canberra conference, Designing Social Change: Beyond Talk, Taking Action.
