The Los Osos/Baywood Park Chamber of Commerce and the Citizen of the Year Committee are now accepting nominations for the 2016 Citizen of the Year. The person does not have to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
They are looking for someone “who gives their time and talent for the benefit of our community,” the Chamber said in a news release.
If readers have nominated someone in the past they are welcome to submit their name again or someone else, because, “each year many are nominated, but only one person is chosen annually,” said the Chamber.
“The Citizen of the Year should be a person who gives outstanding service and dedication to the community and one who is involved in more than one community effort such as business, service organization, church, schools, environment, charities, government or politics. They must live, work, or own a business in Los Osos/Baywood Park.”
The selection committee, made up of past Citizens of the Year, will review all nominations. The deadline is Dec. 12. The winner will be presented at the Chamber’s Annual Community Awards Dinner & Installation in January.
The winner will also be recognized in the official Citizen of the Year press release and ride in the Annual Christmas Parade.
Nomination forms are available in the Chamber office, 781 Los Osos Valley Rd., or online at: www.lobpchamber.org.
