POTSDAM -- There is still time to submit nominations to the Potsdam Chamber of Commerce for its Pride in Potsdam Community Award.

The deadline for submissions is Oct. 7. The awards will be presented at the chamber’s annual dinner Nov. 12.

The award reflects the efforts of an organization or business in enhancing the quality of life in Potsdam.

The nominations are reviewed using the following criteria: ongoing commitment to enhancing Potsdam, engage 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.

Nomination forms are available at the Potsdam Chamber office, 24 Market Street or by request viapotsdam@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,” Potsdam Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Marylee Ballou said. “

The chamber will also take any suggestions of individuals 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 in Potsdam Community Award,” Ballou said. “But just on the individual level.”
