Who should be Coweta's next Citizen of the Year?



Our Chamber is honored to assist with the Citizen of the Year program, and nominations for the 2017 Citizen of the Year are now being accepted. The winner will be named when the Kiwanis Clubs of Coweta host the Citizen of the Year dinner on Thursday, January 26, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. at the Coweta County Fairgrounds at 275 Pine Rd. in Newnan. This award is designed to honor an individual with outstanding leadership and citizenship within our community, someone who has demonstrated exemplary vision, civic pride, and a strong commitment to a better Coweta. The Citizen of the Year award annually recognizes an individual with these characteristics:

• Consideration will be given to those who demonstrate leadership and performance in multiple areas of community service over a period of years.

• The nominee may be an individual from any walk of life, and there are no requirements or restrictions relating to gender, age, race, religion or ethnic background.

A dinner buffet will be held on Thursday, January 26, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. prior to the announcement of the Citizen of the Year. Tickets are $350 for corporate tables with preferred seating, $250 for tables of eight, and $30 for individual tickets.
