At the recent OLA/PNLA Conference in Portland, CSD was proud to award the 2026 Evelyn Sibley Lampman Award to Delia Palomeque Morales. A champion of early literacy and early childhood education in Multnomah County, Oregon, as a Youth and Family Program Specialist with a bilingual Spanish job designation, Delia organized and delivered a program called Listos para el Kinder for 13 years. Listos specifically served Indigenous Latine children ages 4-6 who speak Indigenous languages and/or Spanish. This program connected thousands of children and their families who would otherwise have little or no access to quality early childhood education to culture-based instruction and community-building programs that emphasize the importance of early literacy, mathematics, science and parental involvement, while emphasizing heritage, language and culture. You can read more about Delia and her exceptional work on her Lampman Award page. Also a big thank you to the members of our 2026 Lampman Committee for their work in reviewing nominees and celebrating our award winner in a way that reflects their unique contributions!
