Somerset County Searches For Outstanding Citizen Of The Year

Bridgewater, NJ -- Do you know someone who you believe is an outstanding?

The Somerset County Business Partnership is looking for nominations for the 66th Annual Outstanding Citizen of the Year Award.

The criteria for selection and the Nomination Form are available at http://bit.ly/2016citizen-nominate.

Nominations should be submitted by the close of business on Friday, Jan. 22. An email stating an “Intention to Nominate” may be submitted to dsieberg@scbp.org prior to that date.

Following nomination submission, three letters of support will be required leading to the final selection process. Nominations maybe submitted by individuals, businesses, or organizations and should include a complete description of services rendered.

The Business Partnership Citizen of the Year recognition is Somerset County’s oldest and most prestigious award and one at which the community gathers to honor one very special person to recognize their professionalism and leadership.

The recipient must be a Somerset County citizen who has done more than his/her part in making our community realize its “inherent potentialities.” Nominees need not be members of the Somerset County Business Partnership.

The selected recipient must have demonstrated leadership in improving the economic vitality of the community. Primary consideration will be given to an individual who has shown exemplary service (including volunteer work) to the local/county community in single or multiple initiatives. Service rewarded should be beyond that contained in the individual’s job description.

Nominees shall not be precluded from consideration based on their political affiliation, activity, candidacy or incumbency, providing that candidates are not selected or awarded during an election cycle.

The award will be presented at a dinner reception on Thursday, May 5 at the Bridgewater Marriott.

Further information may be obtained at www.scbp.org or by calling the Business Partnership at 908-218-4300.
