Maine Township officials are seeking nominations for the Sgt. Karen Lader Memorial Good Citizen's Award, which will be given to a citizen who has shown strong support and dedication to the community.

Nomination forms are available at mainetownship.com or at Town Hall. The deadline is March 27, and the winner will be announced at the annual town meeting April 14.

The award was first given in 2011 in honor of Lader, a resident of Des Plaines and a 15-year veteran of the Cook County Sheriff's Office who lost her battle with cancer in 2010. Lader was involved in a number of programs and causes, including the Neighborhood Watch Program, National Night Out Against Crime, Special Olympics and animal rescue.

Completed forms should be mailed to Trustee Peter Gialamas at Maine Township Town Hall, 1700 Ballard Road, Park Ridge, Illinois 60068, or faxed to (847) 297-1335.
