Among the honorees of last year's inaugural event was Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway, who has since launched what may be the most exciting Senate race for the 2010 elections. Similar to those who are being spotlighted this year, Conway exemplifies the mettle and creativity of progressive political entrepreneurship that NLC highly values. Other 2008 honorees included Aimee Christensen of the Apollo Alliance; the New Organizing Institute's Judith Freeman; Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona; Ricky Le, now Mayor Gavin Newsom's political director; and Young People For's Shaunna Thomas, among many others. The announcement of this year's winners is anticipated next week. For a complete listing of last year's award winners, please go here.

Started in 2003, NLC is a completely volunteer organization that offers highly skilled training during a five-month long leadership institute. The program is currently in full operation within five cities and NLC is working towards having over 10 Institutes open nationwide by 2010, which will allow the most promising progressive leaders to be trained in political entrepreneurship. Over 80 Fellows graduated from NLC's five Institutes currently in operation this spring.
