Marion Opens Community Impact Award Nominations

The Marion Chamber of Commerce and City of Marion are proud to partner on the Morris F. Neighbor Community Impact Award. Nominations are currently open and will be accepted through January 31, 2023 at 11:15 pm.

 

The Community Impact Award was launched in 2021 in recognition of banker Morris F. Neighbor of Farmers State Bank. Through his leadership, the Neighbor family has given to countless capital campaigns, community events, and charitable non-profit groups. In addition, volunteerism and dedication to community have remained a priority with the family and amongst bank staff.

 

Troy and Katie Benham of Marion were awarded the first Community Impact Award earlier this year.

 

Community Impact Award nominees may be an individual, couple, or organization whose volunteerism and outstanding service and dedication have made a significant impact on the Marion community. Ideal candidates exhibit the following attributes:

  • has made a positive difference in the lives of fellow residents
  • continually volunteers in the Marion community
  • demonstrates the spirit of collaboration and is enthusiastic about the community and its citizens
  • models honesty and integrity, exemplary character, and leadership either as an individual or through an organization

 

The nomination period opens annually at the Marion Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting in October. The recipient of the award will be recognized and announced by Mayor Nicolas AbouAssaly at the Marion State of the City in March.
