About the Award
Who should be nominated? What are the criteria?
The Person of the Year is a person that has gone beyond the call of duty for the township within the last year. They have shown exceptional dedication to our community, and have helped make our township more successful. We will honor one adult volunteer each year. The person you nominate cannot be a paid employee or have received any type of compensation (either financial or otherwise) from your organization for their work. All of his/her time and effort must be completely voluntary.
Who is judging?
A panel of judges will be selected by the Committee Task Force from the following areas:
- Judicial System of the District
- Local Clergy
- News Media
- Business Leader
- Academia
- Past Person of the Year winners
