'Citizen' Nominations Sought

Published Wednesday, April 3, 1996 in the Nevada County Picayune

The Prescott-Nevada County Chamber of Commerce is seeking applications for its `citizen of the year.' This is one of the highlights of the chamber's annual banquet. This year's banquet will be held in May.

Becoming `citizen of the year' is an honor bestowed upon Nevada County's most worthy citizens as each has been recognized through the years.

The Chamber encourages Nevada citizens to nominate that individual whom you admire, respect and feel should be honored and recognized.

The rules for nominating and selecting the Citizen of the Year are:

  • any Nevada County resident may submit a nomination;
  • the nominee must be a resident of Nevada County; and
  • nominations and the reasons for nomination must be submitted in writing.

    Tuesday, April 30, is the deadline for all nominations to be in the chamber office.

    A selection committee will judge the nominations according to the following criteria: outstanding service to family, city, county, state, national affairs, church related, fraternal, recreational and industrial and education oriented services.

    The selection committee will judge on the content of the nomination letters submitted, rather than the number of letters or number of signatures.

    Send nominations to: Citizen of the Year, Chamber of Commerce, P.O. Box 391, Prescott, AR 71857.
