For the Community Service Award, OBP seeks "an individual who exhibits the rural spirit through exceptional service in the name of community growth . . . a willingness to go above and beyond — selflessly donating the time and support in an effort to positively influence their local community," says the website. The 2020 winners, Carol Graf and Diane Schmidt, run a transportation service and produce delivery service called Rides Here LLC in Waverly, Missouri. Both transit services and fresh groceries are often hard to find in rural areas.
The Next Gen Award is for someone age 21 or under who has "demonstrated uncommon leadership through community service efforts or innovative thinking throughout their rural community," says the website. The 2020 winner, Jack White, is the founder and executive director of the Rural Leadership Initiative, which funds rural undergraduates' public service internships and projects. The initiative is an effort to combat rural "brain drain."
