About the Interreligious Leadership Award
The Interreligious Leadership Award is given each year by the Council of Religious Leaders of Metropolitan Chicago in recognition of those individuals, programs, or organizations that embody the Council's goal of promoting religious harmony in our community in service of the common good. The award is presented in two categories: individuals or organizations within the metropolitan community that embody the Council’s own purpose of promoting religious harmony for the common good; and a private sector business or corporation which advances the Council’s activities or purposes in the community.
