The Wells County Commissioners have begun an initiative to recognize “exceptional citizenship” in Wells County.
Commissioner Mike Vanover explained that, as a board, the commissioners want to thank residents for serving the community, both in simple and large ways. Submissions are now being accepted through the county website at wellscounty.org/wells-county-exceptional-citizenship-nomination/.
The submission form asks for the contact information of the person filing the form, the contact information of the nominated person, and the reason for nomination.
Contingent on submissions, the commissioners plan to recognize exceptional citizenship every month. Vanover hopes the venture fosters a culture of community involvement, as well as recognizes the community servants who are often too humble to draw attention to their work.
