CHILDREN'S CHAMPION AWARD |
ARNIE GREEN AWARD |
Diamond Award
Each year, the Alliance looks to its membership, to recognize those individuals who have been both outstanding leaders in Oregon for children, and also an outstanding leader in the Alliance. The Alliance membership is representative of the incredible dedication and leadership a handful of Oregonians have, each of whom has committed their professional lives to the wellbeing of children in Oregon. The children they care for have faced tough times, and challenges most adults will never experience in their lives.This is the Alliance’s most meaningful award because it comes from peers who want to recognize colleagues within the Alliance who have made extraordinary contributions towards our shared goals for children and families.
The award plaque reads, “The Diamond Award is given to a person who has demonstrated consistent and outstanding leadership to Oregon’s children and families, and to the Oregon Alliance of Children’s Programs.”

Arnie Green Award
In Oregon, there live children who, even as they face challenging circumstances that threaten to prevent them from obtaining a quality life and a level of contribution to their communities, are nonetheless essential to Oregon’s future.
