Nominations Sought to Honor Marylanders Improving Communities

From a News Release: 

Back for a third year, Comptroller Peter Franchot announced today that his office is accepting nominations for the William Donald Schaefer Helping People Award.

Established in 2012 to honor the public service by former Governor and Comptroller Schaefer, the award is presented in each of Maryland’s 23 counties and Baltimore City to individuals and organizations with an unwavering commitment to helping people.

“There are countless organizations and citizens throughout Maryland, who personify Governor Schaefer’s lifelong commitment to helping people.  I’m proud to recognize those who go above and beyond to support others and improve our state,” said Comptroller Franchot.

The Comptroller will personally present the award to each winner starting in April.
