Citizen of the Year
North Olmsted Community Council accepts nominations from the public to honor a respected citizen of North Olmsted. Nominations for the 2020 COTY are closed.
As all of us are acutely aware, the situation surrounding the coronavirus and measures to contain the spread of infection have affected daily life for everyone. The annual Citizen of the Year banquet, originally scheduled for April 23rd, has been cancelled out of concern for the health and safety of our membership and guests.
There will be a 2020 COTY selected, but plans for when and where to recognize the recipient will be finalized at a later date.
The citizens of North Olmsted, the state of Ohio, and our nation are strong and adaptable. We will see this through.
Stay healthy,
David Furin
Vice President, NOCC
