The deadline is upon us: Nominations for the 2008 Rockford Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year Award will be accepted until Jan. 14.

The award is given to individual citizens from the Rockford area who have made an extraordinary contribution to the welfare and progress of the community — in general, over a period of years. The award is sponsored by OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center.

The 2007 award recipient was Mike Dunn, while Susan Grans received the 2006 award.

How do you nominate someone? In 300 words or less, tell how the person has positively influenced the business community and made Rockford a better place to work and live. Letters of support may be included in the nomination packet. The nominee doesn’t need to be a member of the Rockford Chamber of Commerce.

Nominations must be returned to the Rockford Chamber of Commerce by Mon., Jan. 14. The office is located at 308 W. State St., Suite 190.  The Chamber’s fax number is 815-987-8122, or you can e-mail teriwatts@rockfordchamber.com.

If you have questions, the Chamber’s main phone number is 815-987-8100.

The Citizen of the Year award will be presented at the Chamber’s Annual Dinner, Jan. 23, 5:30 p.m. at Giovanni’s Restaurant and Convention Center, 610 N. Bell School Road, Rockford.
