Brian L. Desbiens Community Service Awards – Call for Nominations

Published

Fleming College is seeking nominations for its award program that recognizes outstanding service to the community.

The Brian L. Desbiens Community Service Awards are handed out annually – one to a Fleming College employee (internal) and one to a member of the public (external).

The awards were created to recognize citizens who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to, and concern for, their community, country or beyond. Through volunteer work and within their career these candidates have exceeded expectations, putting their ideas and skills to practical use for the benefit of others.

In 2013, community activist Linda Slavin and Ted Brandon, Training Officer at the Haliburton Campus, received the awards.

Please note, candidates for the internal award must be employees of Fleming College while candidates for the external award can be any citizen who lives in Peterborough, Haliburton or Northumberland counties, or the City of Kawartha Lakes, which are all served by Fleming College’s campus locations. Members of the public are encouraged to nominate candidates for either award.

Nominations will be accepted starting Monday, Sept. 8. All nominations must be submitted by 4 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 19, 2014. The awards will be presented at a special event at the college during Philanthropy Week in November.

Don’t miss this opportunity to nominate a deserving candidate. For a nomination form, or more information, please contact Laura Copeland, Communications Officer at 705-749-5530 x 1370 or laura.copeland@flemingcollege.ca. You can find the nomination forms on the Fleming College website at:
