Know a Fairfield Unsung Hero? Nominate Them Today!

Residents are being asked to nominate their fellow community members for Town Employee of the Year and Fairfielder of the Year.

The Fairfield Board of Selectmen is conducting its 10th annual Employee of the Year Award and Fairfielder of the Year Award.   

Any member of the public, including town employees, are encouraged to submit nominations to the First Selectman’s Office by 12 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 2. Nomination criteria and forms for each award can be obtained in the First Selectman’s Office, the Main Library, or on the Town’s website

An independent committee will review all submitted nomination forms and then recommend three finalists for each award to the Board of Selectmen, which will select the two final winners. Later this fall, the Board of Selectmen will present awards to two outstanding individuals—one Fairfield resident and one Town Employee, according to First Selectman Mike Tetreau.

“This is a nice way for the Selectmen to recognize the many unsung heroes who devote themselves to our Town through hard work and a genuine commitment to helping others,” said Tetreau. “I encourage the Fairfield community to view a list of past winners on our town’s website and to nominate people you believe are deserving of this special award.”
