Nominate top citizens

Nominations are now open for this year’s Emerald Citizen of the Year Awards.

The awards aim to acknowledge individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the local community.

There are two awards – Citizen of the Year and Young Citizen of the Year.

The successful awardees may be asked to play a role during the year of their appointment, as guest speakers at community occasions and events.

Individuals are required to be a resident of the 3782 postcode (Avonsleigh, Clematis and Emerald), employed or active within the Emerald and district community (but not a current member of the Emerald Village Association committee) and willing to accept the award.

A selection panel made up of Emerald Village Association members will assess the nominations and the award will be presented at the Emerald Community Night – to be held in November 2020 if the current pandemic subsides.

Nominations close on 11 September.

For more information or to get a nomination form, contact peter.maloney@emeraldrsl.com.au.
