Nominations are now open for the 47th Annual Conrad Ball Award, a prestigious honor recognizing individuals or teams who have made outstanding contributions to improving the criminal justice system in Larimer County.
Named after the late Honorable Judge Conrad L. Ball of the 8th Judicial District, this award celebrates those who carry on his legacy of reform and dedication to justice. Individuals, teams, coworkers, and local residents are all invited to nominate someone who has made a meaningful impact.
Managed by Larimer County Community Corrections, the award process culminates in a celebratory fall dinner event where the honoree is formally recognized.
