Nominations are currently being accepted for exemplary African American citizens in Gloucester Township for their work in the community.
Since 1976, Black History Month has been an annual celebration of the achievements made by African Americans and a time to recognize the vital role that they played in our country’s rich history. Here in Gloucester Township, we celebrate Black History Month by honoring outstanding African American members of our community at one of our council meetings in February.
I am excited to announce that nominations are now being accepted for exemplary African American citizens who have demonstrated significant contributions in the area of community service, personal or professional achievements, or general good deeds that have impacted favorably on our citizens. A three-member panel will evaluate these nominations and awards will be presented on Feb. 25 at 7:30 p.m. during the Gloucester Township Council Meeting at the Municipal Building.
Nominees should meet the following criteria:
- Must be an exemplary citizen who has demonstrated significant contributions in the areas of community service
- Must currently reside or work in Gloucester Township.
- Past recipients are not eligible
For more information please visit www.GloTwp.com. Nomination forms are available on the website and must be returned by 5:00 p.m. on Feb. 7 to the Township Clerk’s Office via fax at (856) 374–3527 or email at nanpower@glotwp.com.
We are proud to carry on the tradition of Black History Month here in Gloucester Township and we cannot wait to celebrate our 2019 honorees.
