Vermont Chamber of Commerce Seeks 2010 Citizen of the Year Nominations
Award to Honor Outstanding Vermonter for Contributions to the State
Do you know someone who continuously steps forward to help advance and strengthen our Vermont communities?
For more than 40 years, the Vermont Chamber of Commerce has recognized an outstanding citizen with this prestigious award. Nomination material will be collected through July 30, and a special selection committee will meet soon thereafter to select this year’s recipient.
Nominees are judged on three criteria: This award is presented to a Vermonter who has made major contributions to the progress and betterment of the Green Mountain State; has been distinguished through outstanding service to his or her community and region; and in the judgment of the selection committee, typifies the true spirit of service and self-sacrifice in representing the finest ideals of Vermont citizenship.
The 2010 Citizen of the Year will be honored with a special recognition dinner in the fall. The application includes a nomination form, a brief biographical sketch of the nominee, and supporting testimonials. A selection committee comprised of Vermont Chamber members and past award winners will select this year’s recipient.
Last year’s Vermont Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year was Mr. Ed Colodny of Burlington.
Please contact Antonia Opitz, Director of Events with any questions or to receive a nomination form at aopitz@vtchamber.com or call (802) 223-0603. You can also fill out a nomination form online at: http://admin.vtexpo.com/upload/photos/3182010_Nomination_Form.pdf

The Vermont Chamber of Commerce, the largest statewide, private, not-for-profit business organization represents nearly every sector of the state's corporate/hospitality community. Our mission is to create an economic climate conducive to business growth and the preservation of the Vermont quality of life.
