Do you know someone living in Athens, who, over a long span of time and beyond their regular employment, has exhibited generous community spirit, and a commitment to improving the quality of life for the residents of Athens and the entire community? Someone who demonstrates outstanding leadership, citizenship, vision, civic pride, and a strong commitment to a better Athens and whose volunteerism and community involvement have had a positive influence and improved the quality of life for individuals in Athens? Someone who has gone that extra mile, who’s done more than is expected to make Athens a better community in which to live, work and raise a family? Someone who may go largely unknown to the majority of the community, and quietly performs tasks that make Athens a better place to call home?
If so, we invite you to submit a nomination for that person who deserves the recognition of this prestigious award. The award recipient’s identity will be kept secret until it is announced and the recipient is honored at the Athens Chamber of Commerce annual Gala on January 28, 2023. Nominations should be sent as a letter of recommendation, in a SEALED envelope marked Citizen of the Year, C/O the Athens Chamber of Commerce, 201 West Corsicana Street, Suite1, Athens, TX 75751, or hand-delivered. Digital nominations will also be accepted by completing the form HERE. The deadline for nominations is January 18th, 2023.
