Nominations sought for Caregiving Award and "Open Roof Award."

The Association of Brethren Caregivers (ABC) seeks nominations of either individuals or organizations connected to the Church of the Brethren for its annual Caregiving Awards program. Nominations also are sought for the new "Open Roof Award" to recognize congregations and districts working on accessibility issues over the past five years.

The Caregiving Awards honor those who have made significant contributions in health and/or caregiving fields for at least five years. The new "Open Roof Award" was created by ABC's Church and Persons with Disabilities Network. Recipients of awards will be honored at ABC's Annual Recognition Dinner to be held July 5 at the Church of the Brethren Annual Conference in Charleston, W.Va.

To nominate a person or organization for a Caregiving Award, send a letter outlining the reasons for the nomination to ABC, 1451 Dundee Avenue, Elgin, IL 60120; fax 847-742-5160. "Open Roof Award" nominations may be made by completing a form available online at www.brethren.org/abc/ or by contacting ABC at 800-323-8039. Nominations are due Feb. 1.
