New awards program recognizes community service
Fleming College is launching a new awards program to recognize outstanding service to the community.
The Brian L. Desbiens Community Service Awards will be handed out annually – one to a Fleming College employee (internal) and one to a member of the public (external).
The awards were created to recognize citizens who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to, and concern for, their community, country or beyond. Within volunteer work and through their career these candidates have exceeded expectations, putting their ideas and skills to practical use for the benefit of others.
The new awards program replaces the Fellowship in Applied Education and the Brian L. Desbiens Community Service Award for employees.
Please note, candidates for the internal award must be employees of Fleming College while candidates for the external award can be any citizen who lives in Peterborough, Haliburton or Northumberland counties or the City of Kawartha Lakes, which are all served by Fleming College’s campus locations. Members of the public are welcome and encouraged to nominate candidates for either award.
Nominations will be accepted starting Monday, Sept. 9. All nominations must be submitted by 4 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 20, 2013. The awards will be presented at a special event at the college during Philanthropy Week in November.
Don’t miss this opportunity to nominate a deserving candidate. For a nomination form, or more information, please contact Laura Copeland, Communications Officer at 705-749-5530 x 1370 or laura.copeland@flemingcollege.ca. You can find the nomination forms on the Fleming College website at:
