In order to honor and highlight trailblazers of inclusion, PEAK has established an annual award: Allies for Inclusion. While we know that full inclusion should be easy, unfortunately it is commonplace to see examples of old habits and exclusion every day. PEAK’s Allies for Inclusion award honors individuals who are on the frontline, working to smash barriers, open doors, inspire us, and make changes for inclusion in communities in Colorado, across the nation, and beyond. Please enjoy learning more about each of the distinguished award recipients and their incredible contributions below!
