JOIN US ON FEBRUARY 6 FOR THE 2014 MOUNTAIN STATES CIVIL RIGHTS AWARDS RECEPTION

February 6, 2014 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

 

 

Mark your calendars for Thursday, February 6 from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. to join civic and community leaders in honoring Colorado Speaker of the House Mark Ferrandino and Metropolitan State University of Denver and its Leadership: President Stephen M. Jordan and Chair of the MSU Board of trustees Robert Cohen for their great contributions to civil rights in Colorado at the Anti-Defamation League’s 2014 Civil Rights Awards Reception.

ADL’s Civil Rights Awards provide a chance for the Mountain States Region to recognize the incredible work of local civil rights heroes in our shared work, as stated in ADL’s 100-year-old mission, “…to secure justice and fair treatment to all.”

Speaker Ferrandino will be honored for his tireless work that resulted in the passage of Civil Unions, while Metropolitan State University of Denver, represented by University President Stephen M. Jordan and Board of Trustees Chairman Robert L. Cohen, will be honored for its success in making it possible for undocumented students to receive a world-class education by offering them affordable tuition, which in turn helped lead to the passage of the ASSET bill.

Speaker Ferrandino and Metropolitan State University of Denver join 52 distinguished civil rights leaders upon whom ADL has annually bestowed this prestigious honor since 1982, including Jonathan Asher, Rabbi Steven Foster, Tim Gill, Artie Guerrero, Gary Lozow, the Hon. Federico Pena, Rev. James Peters, Sheldon Steinhauser, Cleo Parker Robinson and Tim Sweeney.

ADL’s Civil Rights Awards Reception will be held on Thursday, February 6, 2014, 5:30-7:00 p.m. For more information, location, to RSVP or to become a sponsor, please contact us at 303-830-7177 x225 or online at www.adl.org/civilrights2014.
