OCL is a nonprofit, nonpartisan civic organization designed to promote citizen education and involvement in public affairs. The Citizens League studies issues facing Central New York, and generates reports with specific recommendations for change. The Civic Education Award, named for OCL’s founder, honors individuals and organizations who contribute to cultivating an informed and active citizenship. Kerr, as president of the Greater Syracuse Chamber of Commerce, and Simpson, president of the Metropolitan Development Association, led the efforts to merge the two organizations into CenterState Corp. for Economic Opportunity, which Simpson now heads.
