Annual Peacemaker Awards

The Community Mediation Center occurs usually in late April, but accepts nominations thorughout the year. We ask the members of the community to nominate someone that helps bring peace to you. We have been sponsoring the Annual Peacemaker Event since 2001. Because we deal with people in conflict everyday, we wish to honor others in our community who promote peace on a daily basis. We urge you to thoughtfully consider those you wish to honor.

As the nominator, you will be asked to come on stage with the person you have nominated and help us recognize them by placing a medallion for Peacemakers over their head. You don’t have to say anything.  We will read what you have written on your nomination form.

Who is a Peacemaker? 

It is someone who:

• listens thoughtfully,
• asks insightful questions,
• encourages clear and respectful communication,
• welcomes diverse viewpoints,
• helps people with a multitude of needs to work and live together,
• helps reconcile parties in conflict
• and, of course, they must live in our community, in Gallatin or Park counties.

If you know someone like that in your life, you should nominate them for this Award.

Honoring Groups or Organizations

CMC usually selects one group to honor each year. If you would like to suggest a group of individuals or an organization to be recognized in a future year, please contact our Executive Director. Selecting a group requires advance planning and an understanding of the group, their mission, and its history.
