2023 Winners
How nominees are honored:
The awards committee reviews the nominations, and finalists are selected. Finalists must agree to accept this recognition and attend the dinner (free of charge). All non-finalists receive a certificate of recognition and a copy of their nomination materials, including nomination support letters. Due to space limitations, non-finalists do not attend the dinner.
Each finalist is assigned a table, and may invite guests. Guests are required to pay for their dinners, and should plan to purchase their dinner tickets well in advance. Seats at a nominee’s table will not be reserved. Guests should arrive early to claim a preferred seat.
During the awards ceremony, the finalists’ achievements are recognized from the stage. Finalists receive a copy of their nomination materials, along with a flower and a certificate of recognition. At the end of the evening, the winning humanitarians are announced by the Board of County Commissioners. Each winner receives an award plaque.
