Don Horan Service Leader of the Year Award
(Community Service Award)
Application Deadline – Thursday, Oct. 17, 2019
Established fulltime in 1975, (the first presentation was in 1961), the recipients are selected to recognize citizens who have participated actively and continuously in community service activities in Greensburg and Decatur County. In 2013, to commemorate the contributions business leader and philanthropist Don Horan left behind following his death, the Community Service Award was renamed The Don Horan Service Leader of the Year Award. Don was instrumental in bringing new business to our community and he was active in promoting the Greensburg/Decatur County area. He also contributed greatly to causes in our community, and preferred to stay out of the spotlight of those contributions.
It is intended that such activity of those nominated be diverse and that the recipients be selected without regard to age, gender, occupation, political or religious affiliation. The record of the community participation of the nominee should be described. Such participation could include involvement with family, church, social work, civic groups, business, elderly, youth and other forms of volunteerism.
