From: City of BelvedereReminder - Nominations for Belvedere's 2022 Citizen of the Year - Due Jan. 24th by 5PM.
Note - nomination forms have been mailed to residents and will be arriving in your mailbox this week.
The Belvedere City Council is soliciting nominations for the 2022 Citizen of the Year. The Citizen of the Year award honors individuals who have made significant contributions to the well-being of the City and its citizens over a number of years. These contributions may be in any area of community service, including social service, the arts, local government, the environment, education, etc. Normally, a contribution in a single year, even if significant, will not be sufficient to qualify a person for nomination. Additional criteria include:
- The nominee must be a current resident and
- must have lived in Belvedere for 5 years. Specific circumstances may dictate that the nominee is no longer a resident.
- While community service to Belvedere is the chief criterion, significant contributions elsewhere in Marin County and the Bay Area will be given consideration.
- Normally a person will not be eligible for nomination if he or she is a current member of the City Council or Planning Commission.
- If two individuals have worked together on a number of community service activities, or are related, and both have outstanding records of community service, they may be nominated as a team for Citizen of the Year.
If you would like to nominate someone worthy of this honor, please send a letter detailing your nominee’s past accomplishments and contributions, or complete and submit the nomination form, available Here, to:
Citizen Of The Year Nominations, City Hall
450 San Rafael Ave, Belvedere CA 94920-2336
or email to [email protected].
All nominations must be received in City Hall no later than 5:00 PM on Tuesday, January 24th (postmarks not accepted).
A committee comprised of former Citizen of the Year honorees reviews the nominations and makes a recommendation to the City Council. The award will be presented at the Annual Town Meeting, date to be determined in 2023.
