POTSDAM -- The Potsdam Chamber of Commerce is seeking nominations for their Pride in Potsdam Community Award.

“This award reflects the efforts of an organization or business in enhancing the quality of life in Potsdam,” chamber Executive Director Marylee Mallou said.

Criteria includes ongoing commitment to enhancing Potsdam, engagement in specific activities that result in positive acclaim or recognition for themselves as well as the community, acts as a positive role model for other organizations or businesses in Potsdam, and supports charitable and service organizations, Ballou said.

Nomination forms are available at the Potsdam Chamber office, 24 Market St., or by request at potsdam@slic.com.

The form can also be found on the Potsdam Chamber of Commerce Facebook page. “Along with the nomination form, letters of support, testimonials, and other support materials are encouraged in order to give the review committee a complete picture of the nominees qualifications,” Ballou said.

The chamber will also take any suggestions of people in the Potsdam community that would meet the qualifications for its Outstanding Citizen Award.

“Basically the criteria are the same as that of the Pride award, but just on the individual level,” Ballu said.

Nominations can be sent to potsdam@slic.com.

Deadline for all submissions
