Actor Sidney Poitier, a former president of Poland, a network journalist and an author are this year's Common Wealth Awards winners, according to a trust committee member.

The awards, created by a Delaware businessman, recognize people who demonstrate both excellence in their fields and serve as an inspiration to others, said Connie Bond Stuart, a committee member and PNC Bank Delaware president.

Recipients will be honored at an April 28 dinner.
