Final week to nominate someone for Waukon’s “Person of the Year” honors

The Waukon Chamber of Commerce is seeking nominations from community residents for Waukon’s “Person of the Year” honor, and this is the final week to get those nominations in. This is the eighth year the Chamber will bestow the honor upon a Waukon resident fitting the award’s criteria.

That criteria includes exemplifying the spirit of Waukon through dedication and service to the community; making a difference in the community with active and enthusiastic volunteerism; being a leader - defined by actions, not title - by instilling their own community pride, high personal standards and values in others around them; and serving as a positive role model to this community’s future generations of leaders by demonstrating integrity, character and trustworthiness.

Nominations for Waukon’s “Person of the Year” award should be submitted in writing to the Waukon Chamber of Commerce office, located at 101 West Main Street, by March 1.

The “Person of the Year” honor will be awarded at the Chamber’s annual meeting April 9.
