Mary Sue Rich Diversity Awards
About the Award
The City of Ocala in partnership with the Racial Harmony and Cultural Awareness Task Force (RHTF) is proud to present the distinguished Mary Sue Rich Diversity Award to individuals and organizations who distinguish themselves by promoting cultural awareness and diversity. The award is named after City Councilwoman Mary Sue Rich, who began the City-sponsored task force in 2003 and serves as its chair.
These awards are given to those who have distinguished themselves by promoting racial harmony and equity; raising cultural awareness; and/or celebrating diversity in the Ocala/Marion County community. If you know of an individual, organization or business that you believe is deserving of this recognition, we hope that you will honor them by submitting a nomination on their behalf.
Nominations for the Mary Sue Rich Diversity Awards are accepted each year from July 1 through Aug. 15. Honorees are recognized annually at the Unity Breakfast.
*The deadline for 2021 awards nominations has been extended to September 15.
