Community Awards Nominations
currently being reviewed
A time to honor and encourage community involvement is the hallmark of nearly every successful community. To that end, the Staples Motley Area Community Foundation (SMACF) yearly solicits your nominations for the following awards:
· Citizen of the Year
· Business or Organization of the Year
· Youth of the Year
Award recipients will be announced in May on the Staples Motley Area Community Foundation Facebook Page and in the Staples World newspaper. Recipients will be recognized at other SMACF events throughout the year. Please see the nomination form for additional details and information on how to submit a nomination.
The inspiration for the SMACF community awards originated with the celebration held in 2004 to honor Dr. Duane R. Lund for his lifetime achievement of contributions to the area. During the planning for that event, the SMACF decided one of the best ways to honor Dr. Lund was to continue his mission of enabling the gifts of so many others to flourish and bloom in the community.
