First Citizen Nominations are Open!! Deadline is Jan. 30, 2026
The First Citizen Committee is asking for nominations for the 2025 Florence First Citizen. First Citizen nominees are people who place service above self, donating their time, expertise, and thoughtful energy to help make our community a wonderful place to live. The award is presented to a Florence area resident who has modeled exemplary citizenship over the years through actions and service to the community. They are people that might be quietly helping in your organization with ideas and time, or they might be leaders of your group, working tirelessly to bring new ideas and projects to fruition.
The First Citizen Committee is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. With our First Citizen Award, we honor those whose compassion and service uplifts all residents in our area and serves as an inspiration to others. We welcome a diverse pool of qualified nominations.
Please email Tasha Metzler at tashametzler@gmail.com for the application.
Please email all applications back to tashametzler@gmail.com no later than January 30, 2026. Hard copies may be mailed to the Florence Rotary First Citizen Committee, PO Box 294, Florence Oregon, 97439.
The award will be presented March 31ST at a special recognition luncheon at the Florence Events Center
