Nominate an Everyday Hero
Everyday Heroes are people or organizations who:
- Make our community stronger and improve our collective quality of life
- Bring innovative ways of thinking and taking action to their work
- Focus on the Pacific Northwest
Everyone is invited to nominate an Everyday Hero during the annual spring nomination period. The nomination period for 2022 is now closed.
Nominations for the 2023 Everyday Hero will open in this space next spring.
A selection committee including community members, MOHAI staff and members of the MOHAI Board of Trustees reviews and selects the award winners.
Everyday Heroes receive a special honorarium and recognition at the annual MOHAI History Makers Gala.
