Cincinnatus Association Awards

WELCOME!
We are pleased you have decided to learn more about the annual awards granted by The Cincinnatus Association.  As part of our active involvement in the Association and our communities, we are privileged to meet and work with extraordinary people.  It is also our privilege to occasionally have the opportunity to publically recognize some of these outstanding individuals and acknowledge their efforts, perspectives and achievements.

One of the ways The Cincinnatus Association provides this recognition and acknowledgment is through our annual Excellence in Education Awards:

  • James N. Jacobs Memorial Award of Excellence - Since 1986, this award memorializes the outstanding lifetime contributions of James N. Jacobs (Superintendent of Cincinnati Public Schools 1976-1985) by recognizing an outstanding administrative employee of the Cincinnati Public Schools School. This award grants a cash stipend of $500.
  • John E. Pepper Education Community Service Award - Since 1999, this award memorializes the outstanding volunteer service and leadership to education of John E. Pepper (Chairman of the Procter & Gamble Company).  The award is given to an outstanding volunteer in our public school system.  John E. Pepper himself was the first recipient of this award, which grants a cash stipend of $500 payable to the charity of the winner's choice.
  • William Woodward / Cincinnatus Distinguished Teacher Award - Since 2007, this award memorializes the outstanding contributions of William Woodward and The Cincinnatus Association to the development and furtherance of quality, free public education in Cincinnati.  The award recognizes the exceptional efforts and contributions of a CPS teacher and carries a cash stipend of $500.
Given the nature of our Association's membership and purpose, it is also fitting for us to specially recognize one of our own members each year:

  • Citizen Cincinnatus Award - Since 1994, this award recognizes the exceptional contribution of an individual Cincinnatus Association member to the work of a panel, committee or a special assignment.  The intent is to both reward the past exemplary work of an individual and encourage increased panel participation which is the lifeblood of The Cincinnatus Association.  Formerly called the Citizen Crusader Award.
If you would like to nominate an individual for one of these awards, or you would like additional information, please feel free to use the nomination form (available from the webpage for each award) or contact us through this website.
