Chesterfield Seeks 'Citizen of the Year' Nominees

Chesterfield Mayor Bruce Geiger and city councilmembers are calling for 2011 Citizen of the Year award nominations.

This is an opportunity to nominate someone who has brought honor upon herself or himself and the community, as the result of an outstanding accomplishment or simply by being active, involved, and helpful within the community.

Online application forms can be found on the City’s website—home page, lower right corner. Applications due by February 3.

Selection Criteria

• Recognition should benefit the overall community of the city and its residents through volunteerism, work performed on community projects, and overall civic contributions.

• Nominees should preferably be a Chesterfield resident. If not, the accomplishment should take place in the City of Chesterfield.

Nomination Guidelines

• One nomination per person per household (spouses can be nominated jointly if applicable.)

• Previously nominated individuals can be re-nominated.

• A nominee cannot serve on the Selection Committee.

• A person nominating an individual cannot serve on the Selection Committee.

• City employees will not be considered for the award.

Many residents contribute to the community in a significant manner each day without reward or recognition. This is an opportunity to change that.

Call City Hall with questions: 636-537-4000.
