In 2001, the Euzkaldunak Board introduced the Legacy Award. This award is given to individuals who have exhibited a long-term commitment to the goals of Euzkaldunak. Nominations for the 2018 Legacy Award are now open. If you would like to nominate someone, please write a short letter with the nominee’s name and a description of their accomplishments, and either email it to president@basquecenter.com. or give it to any current board member. The board will review the nominations and the recipients will be announced at the April or May Dinner.
