The Mesa Citizens of the Year organization is now accepting nominations for the Man and Woman of the Year Award for 2020.
The public is invited to nominate a person who has demonstrated significant, long-term community volunteer service. The Man and Woman of the Year Awards will be presented to the honorees at the Citizen of the Year Awards Banquet in 2021.
Mesa’s Citizens of the Year tradition was founded in 1935 by Charles and Florence Mitten, owners of the Mesa Tribune. The award was established to recognize outstanding volunteerism within the Mesa community.
This prestigious award recognizes and honors deserving volunteers who have demonstrated significant long-term commitment and accomplishment through a broad range of volunteerism, enhancing the community by their service and excellence of leadership.
A committee of past honorees makes the selection of a man and woman to be honored at the annual awards banquet. A successful nominee for Mesa’s Man and Woman of the Year will have:
Committed a significant amount of time to a broad ranging variety of volunteer service, or significant volunteer service to one organization within the Mesa community;
Clearly provided leadership excellence;
Set positive examples and motivation for others; and,
Although Mesa residency is not required, it may, nevertheless, be considered in the process.
