The WorkPlace is calling on the community to nominate veterans who not only served the country but continue to support stronger communities by volunteering their time and giving back. This is an opportunity to acknowledge individuals who selflessly make our communities a better place to live and often go unrecognized.
We are currently accepting nominations for the person to be given this special honor. In addition to the honors received while serving, past recipients include an educator who went on to become a school principal, a board member at Homes for the Brave, trained emergency first responders and a youth sports coach. Nomination forms and instructions are available by calling The WorkPlace at 203-610-8496 or by visiting http://www.workplace.org/.
The selection committee will consist of representatives from Port 5 Naval Veterans, Housatonic Community College, Alpha Community Services, The WorkPlace’s Valor Programs and the Connecticut Department of Labor’s Office for Veteran’s Workforce Development.
