Nominations Open for the Touching Lives Awards
The Frederick County Chamber of Commerce has recently announced the acceptance of nominations for the prestigious Touching Lives Awards. This annual event is organized by the Frederick Nonprofit Alliance, which aims to honor the dedicated individuals working tirelessly within 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations across Frederick County.
Recognizing the Unsung Heroes
Within the nonprofit sector, it’s often the front-line workers who have the most significant impact on the community. As Rick Weldon, President and CEO of the Frederick County Chamber of Commerce, emphasizes,
"Frederick County thrives on the dedication of organizations supporting our most vulnerable. Through the Frederick Nonprofit Alliance, we're proud to stand alongside these agencies and individuals. The Touching Lives Awards honors the front-line nonprofit workers who make a real difference every day.” This sentiment reflects the essence of the awards, as they specifically recognize non-management staff who provide critical services to the community or support administrative functions that sustain their organizations without managing other employees.

The application process allows community members to nominate individuals who have shown unwavering commitment and exemplary service in touching the lives of others.
