Nominations are being sought for the 2016 Juanita Haugen Community of Character Award, a program that recognizes individuals who contribute their time to the community and nonprofits that consistently model high ethical and moral standards.

This award is named in honor of the late Juanita Haugen, a longtime member of the Pleasanton school board and a co-founder of the Community of Character program. A well-known community volunteer, she believed that much of Pleasanton’s success is due to its compassionate citizens, folks who exhibit good character traits and those people who volunteer throughout the community.

The deadline for submission is April 4, 2016.
Nominees must be Pleasanton residents or non-profit groups conducting their volunteer work within Pleasanton.
The awards will be presented at a Community of Character Award luncheon at 11:30 a.m. May 18 at the Veteran’s Memorial Building in downtown Pleasanton. Reservations may be made online at www.pleasanton.org or through the Community of Character website at www.communityofcharacter.org/
