City Seeking Nominations for Citizen of the Year

Mayor Bob Nation and the Chesterfield City Council are officially requesting nominations for the 2021 Chesterfield "Citizen of the Year” Award. Many residents contribute to the community in a significant manner each day without reward or recognition. This is an opportunity to nominate someone who has improved the community through an outstanding accomplishment or by being actively involved and helpful within the community.

Selection Criteria:
To be elected for recognition citizens will meet the following criteria:
• Individuals nominated must be a resident of the City of Chesterfield.
• Actions recognized should benefit the community of the City of Chesterfield and its residents through volunteerism, work performed on community projects, and civic contributions to the community.
• Preference is given to the recency of nominee’s activities and community contributions.

Nomination Guidelines:
• Nominee(s) must be 18 years of age.
• One nomination per household (may be an individual or a couple).
• Previously nominated individuals are eligible to be re-nominated.
• City employees as well as elected officials will not be considered for the award while in their position. However, after retiring, former city employees and elected officials who become service-minded volunteers in a capacity other than their previous position, may be considered.

Online application forms can be found on the City’s website at https://www.chesterfield.mo.us/citizen-of-the-year.html on the home page.

Applications are due no later than Friday, February 4, 2022. If you have any questions, please call 636.537.4000.
