The Ruth Kelly Award

Nomination Criteria
In conjunction with World Storytelling Day, this award will recognize people who's stories have inspired others and showed them how to dream bigger by fearlessly chasing their own dreams.
This award is about PURPOSE, not an award based on career achievements or expertise. Ruth was so much more than her business, and we want to celebrate the attributes we loved most about her.
