Those heroes\n    working in law enforcement, probation, prosecution and in the community to keep all of us safe from the dangers of\n    impaired driving. These people are our heroes and that is why each year we choose to take a moment to honor them for\n    the work they do. But, we can&#8217;t do it alone. We need the help of our community to find the men and women doing\n    amazing work across the state so we can thank them. We encourage you to nominate someone in the field of law\n    enforcement, probation, prosecution or community education to be considered for a 2019 MADD Hero Award.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Hero award nominations are reviewed by an amazing committee of volunteers. These volunteers are experts in the areas\n    in which we give awards and work to chose the most worthy candidates from an amazing pool of nominees each year.\n    They always have a very tough job of decideding who should be honored when we really would love to recognize\n    everyone. Their work is why we are confident each year that we are honoring incredible work done across the state.\n<\/p>\n<p>Nominations are due by March 25th. We encourage you to add as much supporting documentation as possible with your\n    nomination, from data to photos! A complete nomination makes our job easier and keeps us from having to bother you\n    for more information!<\/p>\n<p>The nomination form is <a class=\"text-red\" class=\"text-red\"\n        href=\"https:\/\/madd.org\/nebraska\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2022\/05\/2019-MADD-HERO-Awards-Nomination-form.docx\">downloadable\n        here<\/a>.
