HAYDEN Awards scheduled for March 24

The Hayden Chamber of Commerce's fourth annual HAYDEN Awards to recognize individuals for their distinguished community service to the Hayden community is set for March 24.

The chamber will solicit nominations from the general public.

"There are remarkable people in Hayden that volunteer their time and effort to help make this a wonderful community," said Kory Wilson, chamber president. "We want to recognize these individuals and call attention to the positive example they set."

The HAYDEN Awards recognize the achievements of individuals representing six different sectors of the Hayden community. The name "HAYDEN" is an acronym of the six award categories: H - History or Human Rights; A - the Arts; Y - actions by or for Youth; D - Distinguished community service; E - Education; and N - New or Noteworthy business.

To be considered, nominees must live or work in the greater Hayden area and have significantly contributed to the betterment of the Hayden community. Honorees must agree to appear to receive their awards at the Hayden Chamber of Commerce annual banquet. Elected public officials and board members of the Hayden Chamber of Commerce are not eligible.

Nominations should be submitted in writing to the Hayden Chamber of Commerce, Attn: Hayden Awards, P.O. Box 1210, Hayden, ID 83835. The award nominations should include the name, address and telephone number of the nominee; the category of the award and a description of the individual's contributions to the Hayden community.
