2005 LOMIRA CITIZEN OF THE YEAR

Do you know someone who promotes and supports Lomira? Someone who is dedicated to making the community a great place to live, work, play, and learn? Here is your chance to recognize that special person for their commitment to the area. Nominations for the Lomira Area Citizen of the Year are being accepted now through Nov. 30, 2005

We need your help in identifying individuals from throughout the Lomira community who perform acts of goodwill in an effort to help others and to improve the quality of life in Lomira.

Some of these people make significant contributions through a number of local organizations in which they are involved. Others give selflessly in support of an individual group, local church, schools, a neighbor, or in other ways that make a difference in someone's life.

Lomira's Outstanding Citizen will be honored at the Lomira Area chamber of Commerce Annual Banquet in January.

 
LOMIRA'S OUTSTANDING CITIZEN
Nominees do not need to reside in Lomira, but their acts of service must have benefited Lomira area residents. The outstanding citizen will have demonstrated achievement in one or more of the following areas:

• Served the community above and beyond that is required or expected through the individual's employment.
• Demonstrated, either as an individual or through an organization, character, commitment, and/or leadership that made a positive difference.
• Contributed his/her talents in helping others through acts of goodwill, without personal or monetary compensation.
• Demonstrated leadership resulting in contributions that had a positive impact on the community.

(Examples of this criteria include service that has positively affected clients of a nursing home, food bank, crisis clinic, youth group, or other community organization. Service could include voluntary stewardship of open space, helping to maintain a public space, or organizing others around a community issue or goal. It could include assisting with a local electoral process, helping to organize and carry out a community event, or providing individual talents and/or resources to assist local government, education, or health care organizations.)


LOMIRA'S CITIZEN OF THE YEAR
The person selected as Citizen of the Year will have demonstrated achievement as an Outstanding Citizen (criteria above) AND demonstrated personal involvement:

• In more than one area of interest.
• Over a period of time.
• In a way that resulted in significant impact within the Lomira community.

(Examples of this criteria from past recipients include organizing a program to improve quality of life, outstanding leadership in local service organizations that resulted in increased contributions at charitable fundraising events, or contributing time and talents to a variety of community organizations in a way that benefits the community.)
