Know someone who makes Nisswa a better place? Someone who gives their time, energy, and heart to the community? Now is the time to recognize them!

 

The Nisswa Chamber of Commerce is accepting nominations for two prestigious awards:

 

Nisswa Citizen of the Year

Since 1988, this award has recognized 38 outstanding individuals who demonstrate passion and commitment toward bettering their community. You do not have to be a Nisswa resident to nominate, but the nominee must be.

 

Heart of Nisswa Award

This award honors groups, businesses, or organizations that have made an impact on Nisswa. Think of the teams behind the scenes β€” the volunteers, the event organizers, the quiet contributors who show up year after year.

 

Deadline to Nominate: March 27 (Citizen of the Year) and March 30 (Heart of Nisswa)

 

Nominations are simple β€” just tell the story of why your person or group deserves recognition. Drop your nomination at the Nisswa Chamber of Commerce or contact them directly for details.

 

This is your chance to make sure the right people are celebrated. Nisswa has no shortage of heroes. Help us find them.
