HRC seeks nominations for “Good Neighbor of the Year”

The Wake Forest Human Relations Council (HRC) is soliciting youth and adult nominations for the 12th Annual Good Neighbor of the Year Award. The award recognizes Wake Forest residents who work to improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods without seeking recognition for their efforts.

Nominees are sought in two divisions: adult (ages 19 and older) and youth (ages 10-18). To qualify, a nominee must be a Wake Forest resident who has made a significant contribution to the community between Sept. 1, 2020, and Aug. 31, 2021. Employees of the Town of Wake Forest are not eligible.

The online nomination form is available at http://bit.ly/WFGoodNeighborAward. Completed nomination forms must be submitted by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 31.

Nominations forms must include the names of both the nominator and the nominee, along with a narrative of 400 words or less describing why the nominee is deserving of the Good Neighbor of the Year Award.

Mayor Vivian Jones will present a commemorative plaque to this year’s winners. Mayor Jones typically presents the award during Good Neighbor Day, which is usually scheduled each year on the third Saturday in September. In April, this year’s event was canceled due to COVID. It is expected to resume in 2022.
