Eligibility and award criteria include the following:
- The nominee should demonstrate personal service to local citizens, while meeting community needs.
- The nominee will be judged on initiative and good work accomplished through service.
- Nominations should be made for direct service, board service or administrative volunteering.
- An individual, agency, corporation or organization may nominate individuals.
- A panel of judges comprised of leaders of local volunteer organizations will make the final award decisions.
- Nominees must be residents of the City of Indianapolis/Marion County.
The nomination deadline is Friday, June 15, 2007. Nomination forms are available on the city's website, www.indygov.org/eGov/Mayor/Neighborhoods/Community_Service/home.htm, and at Indianapolis-Marion County Public Libraries. Applications may also be requested by calling 327-3601.
Last year, twenty local volunteers received Mayor's Community Service Awards. Since 1993, more than 500 Indianapolis volunteers have been recognized for their contributions and commitment to community service.
