What do The Steelers, Colts, Hines Ward and Measurable Management have in common?

Congratulations to Hines Ward for his nomination for an individual United Nations Positive Peace Award. His team the Steelers and their NFL rivals the Colts have also been nominated for UN Positive Peace Awards.

I'm relieved that none of these are competing in the same category as Measurable Management but it certainly is an honor to be nominated and to be in such illustrious company.

"Hines Ward changed the cultural landscape of Korea," said Janet Mintzer, president and CEO of Pearl S. Buck International, said in a statement. "After Japanese invasions, Korea placed high value on being pure-blooded Koreans, creating prejudice of biracial people. As a successful biracial Korean-American, he returned to Korea, creating media attention which sparked a cultural shift."

During the year, Celebrate Positive will feature nominees for the 1st Annual
United Nations NGO Positive Peace Awards who exemplify and demonstrate the word "positive." The United Nations Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) will honor the World’s Most Positive businesses, schools, communities, sports teams, athletes, coaches, and entertainers. Every nominee will be judged on an extensive list of criteria in order to be eligible for a Positive Peace Award.
