Awards Nomination Form

Nominations will be accepted until August 31, 2026; anything received after that date will not be considered for the 2026 awards presentation. Awards are presented during the Awards Dinner, and we generally do not disclose winners ahead of time.

ITA is proud of the many contributions its men and women have made to their communities and for the betterment of township government as a whole. We encourage you to help us recognize those members who deserve to be thanked by nominating them for an appropriate award.

The committee will consider accomplishments within their township/community at-large, as well as letters of support, news articles, and similar materials. The award is bestowed not only based on successfully fulfilling the duties of the office (those things we “must do”), but on the merit of going above and beyond — from what is expected to that which is exceptional. Weight is also given for township officers who have shown leadership abilities and who work to develop leaders within their own community.

Relevant information to consider attaching: community involvement (boards, affiliations, formal occupation), letters of support, news clippings, and other supporting documents that may enhance your nominee. Please be sure to describe in detail why you believe this person or township deserves this prestigious award.
