DALLAS - March 23, 2026 - PRLog -- The 2026 Immigrant Journey Awards program is now accepting nominations of outstanding immigrants and immigrant-focused organizations. Presented by the Dallas law firm Badmus & Associates, the awards recognize the achievements and contributions of immigrant individuals in North Texas, as well as businesses and organizations promoting accessibility, inclusion, and full community participation of new immigrants.
Everyone is encouraged to nominate extraordinary business, professional, and community leaders and advocates who have made significant impacts on others in the North Texas/DFW area.
Award nominees include entrepreneurs, advocates, civic leaders, and individuals who have made substantial professional achievements in their field. They can be nominated for these applicable categories: Immigrant Entrepreneur, Immigrant Professional Excellence, Immigrant Advocate, and Immigrant Spirit Awards.
"Every day, immigrants in our community are founding businesses, saving lives, advocating for the vulnerable, and inspiring a generation of future leaders. The Immigrant Journey Awards exist to make sure their stories are heard and celebrated in a big way. We are calling on community members, organizations, and leaders across DFW to join us in recognizing these remarkable individuals," said Ann Massey Badmus, founder of Badmus & Associates and the Immigrant Journey Awards.
The Immigrant Entrepreneur Award is for an individual who has built a highly successful North Texas business and sets an example for other motivated entrepreneurs locally and in the nation. Immigrants who have made remarkable strides in a professional field are eligible for the Immigrant Professional Excellence Award, while the Immigrant Spirit Award recognizes an individual who has contributed substantially to the well-being of the entire community or region. Lastly, the Immigrant Advocate Award goes to an individual, organization, business, or government entity that has made a powerful and positive impact on the welfare of immigrants via public advocacy.
