LAKE PLACID — The Lake Placid Community Day organizing committee is seeking nominations for its distinguished volunteer of the year award. Nominations are due by April 1, 2025.

Community Day celebrates those who contribute to various community-based initiatives within the village of Lake Placid and the town of North Elba. One important aspect of Lake Placid Community Day is showcasing volunteer efforts of community members and specifically, those who choose to share their time with the area’s activities and events. Event organizers are beginning to plan and encourage nominations for the distinguished volunteer of the year.

The award will be presented at the seventh annual Community Day celebration on Sunday, June 1. Award recipients will be recognized in two categories: distinguished volunteer of the year, youth; and distinguished volunteer of the year, adult.

Nomination criteria are as follows:

¯ Any individual or organization may nominate one or more candidates

¯ The organizations and the volunteer’s work must be within North Elba

¯ Previous candidates may be re-nominated

¯ Nominations should remain confidential; all nominees may not receive an award

¯ Include as much pertinent information as possible to support the nomination

¯ Provide at least one contact in support of the nomination, including name and contact information

¯ Letters of support are encouraged
