Each award is sponsored and presented by a different organization. The ceremony is attended by many of our distinguished community members, including city mayors and council members.
If you know of an unsung community hero, here is your chance to nominate him or her. SOCA provides residents of the Tri-Cities area an opportunity to honour individuals who are "community builders." Anybody who lives, works, plays, or has made community contributions in the Tri-Cities can be nominated. We want to help you honour your family, friends, and co-workers who selflessly show responsible citizenship by tirelessly working to create healthy communities through their tremendous contributions and commitments.
Please take the time to recognize an outstanding responsible citizen. We take nominations all year round. A form can be found at: http://www.societyforcommunitydevelopment.com/community_awards
