Serve Idaho accepting Brightest Star nominations

Serve Idaho, the Governor’s Commission on Service and Volunteerism, is accepting nominations for the annual Brightest Star Awards.

The program recognizes outstanding Idaho volunteers in the following categories:

Individual Student (19 years of age and younger) Veteran Individual (55 years of age and older) Business Nonprofit / Public Organization Teacher / Professor

Nominees must be Idaho residents who have performed volunteer service in 2017. Companies must conduct business in Idaho to be eligible. If the company is headquartered out of state then local affiliates must be engaged in local volunteer activities. Individuals may submit more than one nomination per category or in multiple categories.

A panel consisting of Serve Idaho commissioners, Serve Idaho staff and community members will review the nominations and select a winner in each category.

Nominations will be accepted online until October 20, 2017 at serveidaho.gov/events/brighteststars.

Nominees and winners will be recognized at an awards ceremony in Boise January 17, 2018.
