BOOM (Be Our Own Motivation)
is a statewide award ceremony recognizing individuals with a disability who have excelled professionally or personally.
Each year, three individuals will be honored as the
Employee of the Year
,
Entrepreneur of the Year
and
Athlete of the Year
. They will be recognized at an Awards Ceremony Luncheon at
re:con – the convention of new beginnings in November
.
Winners will receive recognition of their accomplishments, including a one-minute video produced about their journey by Good Fruit Video. Additionally, they will be invited to join the BOOM committee to help nominate and select future award recipients.
The goal of the BOOM Awards is to provide stereotype-busting role models for people with disabilities. Great inspiration comes from people who have done it and done it well – that’s who we’re celebrating.
Nominees must be residents of the state of Michigan and have demonstrated excellence over an extended period of time.
All nominations become the property of BOOM and will not be returned.
All nominations must be submitted on the attached form and
accompanied by two letters of support.
Nominations must be received by August 1, 2018
The BOOM Awards Committee looks forward to your nominations. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Renee Hall at
