2007 Francis H. Hayden Memorial Award - Nomination Deadline - October 30, 2007
The Berkshire Chamber of Commerce is currently seeking nominations for the 2007 Francis H. Hayden Memorial Award. The award will be presented at the Chamber's annual meeting on Friday, December 7, 2007, at the Crowne Plaza Pittsfield ~ Berkshires.
The award will be made to a Northern Berkshire County resident who has made a significant contribution to the economic, social, and/or cultural improvement of any or all of the communities of Adams, Cheshire, Clarksburg, Florida, New Ashford, North Adams, Savoy, and Williamstown.
Candidates will be judged on the basis of volunteer efforts rather than any measure of success in the field in which they are normally employed. Nominations will be solicited from individuals and organizations in the Northern Berkshire area. A detailed statement of qualifications to accompany the nomination form is requested. Specific support information will be an invaluable aid to the selection committee.
Judging is based on a point system. Points will be awarded on the basis of exceptional leadership, personal sacrifice, the importance of the project to the community, challenges, and creative uses of available resources. The individual attaining the greatest number of points above 40 will be declared the winner.
Now in its 38th year, the Hayden Award has been presented annually since 1969. It was established to honor the memory of Francis H. Hayden, former Chamber President. The very first recipient of this prestigious award was Donald Thurston. Among the most recent past recipients are George Fairs, Mary and Henry Flint, Eric Rudd, George Kennedy, Susan and Thomas Aceto, Donald R. Dubendorf, Joseph Thompson, Marci and Sandy Plumb, John DeRosa, Bruce Grinnell, and last year’s winner, Hulda Hardman-Jowett.
Nominations are due at the Chamber on or before Friday, November 2, 2007. For further information or to request a nomination form, please contact Christine Hoyt at (413) 499-4000, extension 26.
