Nominate for Distinguished Community Leader

Thursday, October 20th, 2011

Nominations now being accepted for "Distinguished Community Leader" and "Legacy of Service" Awards

The Distinguished Community Leader and Legacy of Service Awards represent the highest recognition of our Chamber towards members of the business community. Valpo Chamber Members are invited to nominate an individual or individuals for these prestigious acknowledgements.

The Distinguished Community Leader Award is given to an individual within the community who demonstrates a leadership role, is successful in promoting and developing business and industry, is involved and contributes to the community, has a general reputation among the community business leaders, and enhances the quality of life in our community on a sustained basis.

The Legacy of Service Award recognizes an individual in the community who has, over the course of time or in an extraordinary circumstance, given service to the community beyond what is expected in their profession. They have, in fact, created an example to which others might aspire and a legacy from which others might learn the value of community service.

The Award Committee consists of past recipients of the Distinguished Community Leader Award. This year’s awards will be presented at the Salute to Leadership dinner on Saturday, January 14, 2012.

To nominate a candidate for either of these awards, please download the Distinguished Community Leader nomination form (PDF) or Legacy of Service nomination form (PDF) and return to the Valpo Chamber by Thursday, November 10, 2011.
