The 2020 Banks Citizenship Award marks the ninth time the community tradition will celebrate one of Banks’ own who makes a difference in people’s lives, minds and spirits, but who don’t necessarily seek attention for their good deeds otherwise.
The past award winners from 2012-2019 are Jim Hough, Kathie Jackson and Jim Lucas, Raymond Deeth, Mark Ward, Marion Steinbach, Mel and Becky Clark, Shirley Javorsky, and David Duyck.
Nomination information and forms for the Banks Citizenship Award are available on the city’s website and at city hall, located at 13680 NW Main Street.
Nominations are due September 30, 2020, and the winning candidate will be notified by phone after October 31. The award will be presented November 10, 2020 at the Banks City Council meeting.
