AEA Awards

AEA gives awards of recognition for Eastside human services!

The Alliance of Eastside Agencies gives individuals or organizations that have demonstrated outstanding dedication and vision in human services the recognition they ought to have. Award winners are nominated annually by AEA members.

We held our 2024 AEA Human Services Awards Luncheon on February 29th. It was an opportunity to pause and celebrate all of the incredible nonprofit colleagues, friends, mentors, and service providers around us who have been working hard all year!
