Flower Mound wants to recognize its outstanding citizens

The town of Flower Mound is accepting nominations for outstanding citizens.

“Flower Mound leaders understand that the success of any community is built upon the efforts of individuals committed to making it a better place to live, work and play,” said a town news release. “In an effort to recognize those who have given unselfishly of themselves in service to others, the town is looking for nominations for the 2017 ‘Outstanding Citizenship Award.'”

Anyone can nominate an individual or group, as long as the nominee is a Flower Mound resident/group and displays at least two of the following criteria:

• Strives to make a positive impact in the community
• Enhances the Flower Mound community and the lives of its citizens
• Addresses or fulfills a community need or concern

The recipient will receive a Proclamation of Outstanding Citizenship from the mayor and Town Council, along with a small engraved plaque.

Nominations will be accepted until Oct. 31. To get a nomination form, pick one up at Town Hall, 2121 Cross Timbers Road, or click here.
