Salute to Excellence – Call for Nominations (Virtual Event)

Join CNE for Call for Nominations, the kickoff event for Salute to Excellence, CNE’s annual nonprofit awards ceremony. The Call for Nominations virtual event is an opportunity for CNE members to ask questions about the application process for Salute to Excellence 2025.  

Organizations interested in applying for Salute to Excellence awards are encouraged to attend the Call for Nominations to review changes to our application process for 2025 and ask questions of our panelists and the CNE staff. Participants will hear from the Salute planning committee, award funders, and past Salute winners, who will share insight into the application process and their overall experience as Salute finalists.
