The Wake Forest Human Relations Council is soliciting youth (ages 10-18) and adult (ages 19 and older) nominations for the 11th Annual Good Neighbor of the Year Award. The award recognizes Wake Forest residents who work to improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods without seeking recognition for their efforts.
Nominees are sought in three divisions: adult, middle school youth and high school youth. To qualify, a nominee must be a Wake Forest resident who has made a significant contribution to the community between Sept. 1, 2019, and Aug. 31, 2020. Employees of the Town of Wake Forest are not eligible.
The online nomination form is available on the Town’s website at http://bit.ly/WFGoodNeighborAward. Completed nomination forms must be submitted by 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 31.
Submitted nominations forms must include the names of both the nominator and the nominee, along with a narrative of 400 words or less describing why the nominee is deserving of the Good Neighbor of the Year Award.
Mayor Vivian Jones typically presents a commemorative plaque to each winner during Good Neighbor Day. Although this year’s Good Neighbor Day has been canceled due to COVID-19, Mayor Jones will present the awards via Zoom on Saturday, Sept. 19.
