The eight recipients of the 2006 Dorothy Richardson Awards for Resident Leadership were chosen from NeighborWorks® America districts. They are exemplary successors to the legacy of Dorothy Richardson, who died in 1992.

The winners' stories are shining examples of the difference just one person can make; first, as leaders themselves and, then, by developing the potential of additional new leaders through resident involvement. They demonstrate why committed resident leaders are critical to building and maintaining strong, healthy neighborhoods.
