MSCSA is a finalist for the Minnesota Nonprofit Awards: Advocacy PDF Print E-mail
This week MSCSA was honored to find out that we were nominated for the first time in the “Advocacy” category of the 2008 Minnesota Nonprofit awards. We are one of three finalist organizations selected because of our “effective advocacy strategy…successful advocacy efforts [and]…significant impact on the organization’s constituency.” Among our success at the Capitol, the selection committee was impressed by our work at the state and federal level to limit tuition increases, control textbook costs, protect student privacy rights and our lobbying for two-year college access to the MnSCU revenue fund to get additional funds for student facilities.

The Minnesota Nonprofit Awards are presented by the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits and MAP for Nonprofits. Employees and Board members of the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits member organizations are eligible to vote and the recipients will be announced in September. We our so proud that the hard work at the Capitol of our Board, Staff, Platform Committee and other Students is being recognized. In this case it truly is an honor just to be nominated.
