The Salem Historical Society is seeking nominations for their 2010 ‘Citizens of Honor’ award. The inaugural class of 24 citizens was installed in 2006 during the Salem Bicentennial and 6 added over the last three years for a total presently recognized of 30.
The criteria is for Salem-connected citizens, from the present or past, who have distinguished themselves with service to their community, their career, and/or to their country. The intent is to announce the addition of two ‘citizens’ during the Founders’ Day program in April.
Any field of accomplishment can be considered and should be described. Involvement in the community and other activities should be included when making a nomination for the committee to consider.
Suggestions are to be submitted to the Salem Historical Society by February 12. All nominations will be kept on file for present and future consideration. The address for submitting nominations is 208 South Broadway Avenue to the attention of the “Citizens of Honor” committee.
