To nominate a volunteer for the North Elba/Lake Placid Distinguished Volunteer of the Year, fill out the nomination form and return it to the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism by March 31. Forms are available at the Lake Placid Visitors Bureau, at 2608 Main St., and can be returned to Bethany Valenze by email at bvalenze@lakeplacid.com or at the office.

Previous candidates may be re-nominated. The committee also retains and reviews all past nominees.

A Distinguished Volunteer award will be given in recognition of a lifetime of activity and effort on behalf of the town of North Elba and/or the village of Lake Placid. Volunteers have to live in North Elba/Lake Placid and the organization that they have been nominated for – and where they have performed their services – must be within the boundaries of North Elba.

Nominations are also being sought for the Youth Category for volunteers 18 years of age and under. The same criteria will be used.
