DSI Star Award Nominations

To nominate an individual that has made a long-standing contribution to the Down syndrome community, please send your nomination to lisa@dsindiana.org. Three winners will be chosen and announced at the DSI Holiday Party on December 1oth.

Why a Star?

Focus: Parents, siblings, educators, and other friends and family often describe individuals with Down syndrome as "stars" or the center of attention. The star logo recognizes that quality, and reminds us of our need to challenge ourselves and society to see all individuals with Down syndrome for their contributions to their community.

Achievement: A star has long been a symbol of achievement. The star logo reminds us of the importance of all "achievements" of individuals with Down syndrome.

Inspiration: As a group of people familiar with the history of Down syndrome, we recognize that we are still at the beginning of our journey to discover the full potential of individuals with Down syndrome. The star represents our collective reaching for a brighter future for all individuals with Down syndrome.
