Far too often local people and businesses do not get the recognition they deserve and their achievements and excellent service levels go unnoticed.
Ocean Grove Rotary wants to recognise and applaud the contributions both people and local businesses make to our great community by running the Community Service Awards and need your help by seeking nominations.
There are four major categories in the community awards, the first being small business excellence. This award is sponsored by Ocean Grove Business Association and recognises excellence in areas such as customer service, staff training and motivation as well as innovation and contribution to the local community.
Anybody can nominate a business for this award provided they have experienced any of the above attributes.
The Apprentice of the Year Award relates to any 2nd or 3rd year apprentice or trainee living or working in the Ocean Grove Barwon Heads or Wallington areas, who shows a great work ethic, motivation and willingness to learn.
The employer or immediate manager can make the nomination.
The Pride of Workmanship is a special award targeting an individual’s dedication to their job in areas such as service excellence, helping others and willingness to undertake training. An employer or individual who has identified these attributes in an individual can nominate them.
The fourth award is for the Volunteer of the year.
Rotary is looking to recognise a person who has given outstanding service to the community. Any member of the public or charity organisation can nominate.
Nominations close 17 December 2019.
To make a nomination go to the Rotary website rotaryoceangrove.org.au or pick up a nomination form from Driftwood Cafe in Ocean Grove or one of the many participating businesses in Ocean Grove.
The awards will be presented in February 2020 at an evening event at Ocean Grove Bowling Club.
All finalists and their nominators will be invited. Award certificates and prize money will be given.
