SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Town of Erie staff will present the 2023 Outstanding Resident Award. This program began in 2021 and is intended to honor Erie residents, non-profits, or organizations that have made significant contributions to or had a significant positive impact on the community. The Town encouraged residents to nominate deserving individuals or organizations for consideration. The selection criteria were broad, as contribution and impact can be measured or determined in different ways. Under consideration were things such as community leadership, community organization involvement, heroic action, humanitarian efforts, service, volunteerism, and even business success, personal or professional achievement, or recognition brought to the Erie community because of an individual’s efforts.
For 2023, there were eight nominees, and each will receive a certificate of nomination. The nominees were:
• Elena Clark
• Connor Clay
• Nancy Gruber
• Kathryn Knight
• Gary Knight
• Lisa Knudsen
• Ellen Miller
• James Stull
The final award recipient will be honored with a commemorative brick placed in the walkway at Erie Community Park and will receive a matching commemorative brick to keep.
