Citizen of Year
Do you know someone that deserves to be recognized for what they do for the community? If so, this is your opportunity to nominate them for the 2018 Citizen of the Year Awards, sponsored by the Mayor and City Council. There are seven categories for Rock Island Citizens; Business, Professional, Education, Individual, City Employee, Organization and Youth. There is a special category for someone that does not live in Rock Island but has contributed to the good of the community. This person/organization is not eligible for the overall Citizen of the Year award, but may be nominated as the Honorary Citizen of the Year. To learn more and nominate someone go to www.rigov.org/COY. The deadline for receiving nominations is June 8, 2018. If you have questions, please call Committee Co-Chairpersons/Aldermen Dylan Parker at (309) 738-3416 or Dave Geenen at (309) 738-4569 or City Clerk Judith Gilbert at (309) 732-2010.
