Every year in Louisville, we have individuals, businesses and organizations that help support and foster growth in our international community. They create new programs, cultivate relationships between immigrants and the rest of the community, support successful projects related to the immigrant community, and help to sustain an inclusive environment.
The Mayor’s International Awards program, created in 2004 by the Louisville Metro Office for International Affairs (OIA), was developed to honor these local individuals, businesses and organizations that have made significant contributions to Louisville’s multicultural community through leadership, education, community relations and workforce development.
