<\/p>\n

There are three main ways that you can request recognition:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A certificate of appreciation<\/strong>, similar to the ones used by the U.S. House of Representatives or the U.S. Senate, is bestowed to organizations or people who make extraordinary contributions to our community.<\/li>\n
  2. A\u00a0letter of recognition\u00a0<\/strong>is signed your County Commissioner.<\/li>\n
  3. A\u00a0proclamation<\/strong> is used to formally celebrate retiring employees, national holidays, supported policies, or efforts such as “National Adoption Month”.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Below, you can see examples of each option to help you draft your submission. Then, click the link to submit the recognition request you think best suits your situation.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    All submissions are subject to approval and calendar availability. All requests must be made with appropriate lead time prior to when you want to receive your recognition.<\/p>\n
