Nominate an Outstanding Professional or Volunteer for Outstanding Service to Crime Victims

Each conference, OJP elicits nominations for outstanding professional or volunteer services to crime victims. The Distinguished Service Award was created in 1995 to recognize those working in the field of victim services or criminal justice who have been an inspiration to the service of crime victims in Minnesota. 

The Kosiak Memorial Award, named for Dr. William Kosiak, was established in 1989 by the Crime Victim and Witness Advisory Group to recognize volunteers who give their time and energy as effective advocates for the fair and respectful treatment of crime victims.

To nominate someone for either of these awards, please fill out this form and complete a separate word document explaining why this person is deserving of recognition.  Both the form and the word document should be emailed to Joann.Jones@state.mn.us by 4:00 on April 17, 2015.
