Citizens Awards nominations needed

 

Kaipara District Council have reinstated the annual Citizens Awards to show their commitment to recognising the contribution and achievements of individuals and organisations to the district.

The Citizens Awards process is now calling for nominations. These nominations may be made by any person or organisation, in the appropriate form. It is not necessary to have the consent of the person or organisation being nominated for the awards. 

If the nomination is successful, consent will be obtained from the intended recipient before any announcement is made to the public.

Nominees will have predominantly carried out voluntary work, but payment for services will not necessarily disqualify receiving an award. 

Applications will be assessed on personal leadership, inspiration, sacrifice or devotion to a cause or made a significant contribution to the well-being of the Kaipara district and its citizens.

A Citizens Awards committee comprised of three councillors will assess nominations received. 

The decisions of the committee will be reported to Council who will then announce the recipients of the annual Citizens Awards. 
A formal ceremony to officially acknowledge recipients will also be announced at a later date.

 For more information and nomination forms refer to the Kaipara District Council website. Nominations close August 31, 2018.
