POULTNEY — Do you know a Poultney citizen who goes above and beyond the call of duty to enrich the Poultney community in sharing their time and talents?, the Poultney Area Chamber of Commerce asks. If so, nominate them for the Citizen of the Year award.
Presented annually since 1990, the Citizen of the Year Award honors a resident citizen who has made major contributions to the betterment of Poultney, has distinguished himself or herself through outstanding service to the community, and who typifies the true spirit of service and self-sacrifice in representing the finest ideals of Poultney citizenship.
The 2016 Citizen of the Year will be recognized at a special Chamber of Commerce reception in which all are welcome to attend.
Nominations are accepted in letter format. They should include the name, address and phone number of the citizen nominee, a biographical sketch of the nominee and provide supporting testimonials. Nomination letters should also include name, address and phone number of the person submitting in case the Chamber’s Citizen of the Year Committee need additional information about the nominee.
Recipients are eligible to receive the award one time.
