This year, the Good Apple Awards will recognize four individuals and an organization that have kept community needs at the center of their work and used their skills and resources to advance the fight for justice and opportunity for all.
Milo Mumgaard Emerging Leader Awards
Kayte Partch
Sierra Edmisten
This award, named after Appleseed’s founding executive director, recognizes young, emerging leaders who have a vision for the best of what Nebraska can be and, through initiative, hard work, and dedication, are pushing to make their vision a reality.
Roots of Justice Award
3Sisters
This award recognizes grassroots advocates who have made outstanding contributions to justice and opportunity for all while building a stronger community.
Seeds of Justice Award
Daniel Gutman
This award recognizes outstanding legal contributions to public interest law and/or pro bono contributions by private practice lawyers and law firms advancing the public interest through public policy reform.
Jim Wolf Equal Justice Award
Marta Nieves
This award recognizes a Nebraskan who has made significant contributions to justice for all throughout her or his career in the spirit of Jim Wolf, a founding Appleseed board member. The individual should be someone who, like Jim, stepped outside of the comfort of their day-to-day lives and, without thought for their own economic or political gain, devoted themselves to public service to benefit the common good, and heeded the call to respond to adversarial and difficult circumstances facing others.
