Call for Nominations

The National Center for Family Literacy is now accepting nominations for
the 2008 Verizon Tech Savvy Awards. They are the first national awards
to honor programs that improve parents' and children's understanding and
use of technology. Four $5,000 regional awards and one $25,000 national
award will be presented. The deadline for submissions is Jan. 11, 2008.

The annual honor will awarded March 31, 2008 in Louisville, KY, at the
National Conference on Family Literacy.

The awards - established in 2007 by the Verizon Foundation, the National
Center for Family Literacy and former First Lady of Iowa Christie
Vilsack - are designed to support sustainable programs that help parents
bridge the widening gap between adults' and children's understanding of
technology. These two generations must learn about technology together,
so parents can be effective teachers and advocates to ensure that their
children are literate in technology and prepared for the 21st century
workforce.
