Nominations sought for volunteer awards
Montgomery County’s Montgomery Serves Awards Ceremony will take place on Monday, April 24 at Imagination Stage in Bethesda, Md. The annual event will honor some of Montgomery County’s most outstanding community leaders and dedicated volunteers.
“Montgomery County is the very special place it is today in large part because many extraordinary public citizens work every day to make it special,” Leggett said in encouraging residents to submit nominations of individuals, businesses and community groups for the awards.
Roscoe R. Nix Distinguished Community Leadership Awards. In addition to these awards, selected on the basis of nominations from the public, Leggett will present his selections of this year’s Roscoe R. Nix Distinguished Community Leadership Awards. This prestigious honor was established to honor Roscoe Nix, who died in 2012 after a half century of service to Montgomery County, including serving as president of the county’s NAACP chapter and member of the county’s board of education.
The Montgomery Serves Awards are organized by the Montgomery County Volunteer Center, Fund for Montgomery, and the Corporate Volunteer Council of Montgomery County. The Path of Achievement awards are presented in partnership with the county’s Commission on Aging and the Beacon Newspapers.
