Celebration of Leadership award nomination forms available

The Hanover Township Committee on Youth is accepting nominations for the 2017 Celebration of Leadership Awards.

The categories for this year's awards are: Rising Star Award, elementary student (grades K-six); Junior Leader Award, middle school student (grades seven-eight); High School Leader Award, high school student (grades nine-12); Community Adult Leader of Youth Award, an adult who lives or works in the Township and works with youth in a leadership capacity; and Principal of the Year, a principal from a Township area school, including primary, secondary, alternative education and private schools.

All youth nominees must be Hanover Township residents and demonstrate genuine leadership. Nominations can be submitted by a school staff member, parent of a student, student, student group, community organization or business. Principals cannot nominate themselves. The nominees and winners will be honored and celebrated at a reception in May.

"Many individuals, youth and adults, emerge as leaders in a variety of settings," said Khaja Moinuddin, Hanover Township Trustee. "This is a great opportunity to recognize those leaders and thank them for the positive influence they have in the community."

Nomination forms are available on the township's website, www.hanover-township.org, or at the Hanover Township Youth & Family Services office, 250 S. Route 59, Bartlett. Completed nominations are due no later than Monday, April 17.
