Brockport Mayor M. Connie Castaneda has announced the establishment of an award for volunteers in the Towns of Sweden and Clarkson and invited residents of those towns to nominate candidates for the award. Nominees must be residents of the two towns (including Brockport.) Individuals and organizations may submit nominations. Self-nominations are acceptable.
The three municipalities established the Monika W. Andrews Creative Volunteer Leadership Award as a memorial to the late Brockport resident. Its rules require that the award be given annually to one or more persons “who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in volunteer work by undertaking important innovative activities or creating significant new ways to serve the greater Brockport community.” A trust fund has been established to provide cash awards for the winners. The winners will be selected by a committee composed of one member appointed by each of the municipal boards. Nominations must be submitted to the Village Clerk, Village of Brockport, 49 State Street, by noon, December 28. A complete set of the rules for the award is available at the clerk’s offices of the three municipalities or on the village website, www.brockportny.org.
